Recidivism of the criminally insane in France: a 22-year follow-up.
Characteristics of 1096 recidivistic mentally ill criminal offenders admitted to a specialized hospital in France are described. All subjects were mentally ill and had been judged nonresponsible for an act of crime. Crimes against persons (murder or assault) accounted for 42% of the crimes for which these patients were admitted. The remaining causes of admission were crimes against property (theft) and "victimless" crimes. Subject files indicated a wide difference in cause of admission for violent acts among the different diagnostic categories. Although the frequency of readmission and violent acts at readmission did not change for the group as a whole, they did change between admissions for the different diagnostic groups. Results indicate that differences exist between diagnostic categories of mentally ill offenders in terms of not only the type of crime committed but also the likelihood of recidivism.
[Application of D.S.M. III to prison psychiatry: apropos of 100 diagnostic evaluations].
From hundred diagnostic evaluations according to D.S.M.-III classification, the authors bring to light the frequency of psychiatric disorders among the prisoners. "Substance use disorder" (axis 1) and "antisocial personality" (axis 2) are the more frequent diagnosis and they are often associated. "Schizophrenic disorders" are not unusual. On the other hand, there are not isolated "anxious disorders" on axis 1. Presence of anti-LAV antibodies (axis 3) among 51% of imprisoned drug addicts is pointed out.
