“…In an attempt to explain the association between aggression and PN, scholars have long focused on the notions of unstable self-esteem and threatened egotism (Baumeister et al, 2000; Lambe, Hamilton-Giachritsis, Garner, & Walker, 2018; Lowenstein, Purvis, & Rose, 2016; Rasmussen, 2016; Salmivalli, 2001). According to the threatened-ego hypothesis, interpersonal rejection or provocation threatens the vulnerable self-esteem of narcissistic individuals and elicits unpleasant emotions, such as shame and anger, from which they want to escape.…”

Impulsivity seems closely related to both narcissism and spitefulness as a potential common pathway by which these pathological personality traits lead to violence. We administered the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), the Pathological Narcissism Inventory, the Spitefulness Scale, and the Impulsive Behavior Scale Short Form to a sample of individuals convicted of violent offenses ( n = 182) and a sample of community participants ( n = 203). Hierarchical regression analysis of the convicted sample showed that spitefulness predicted AQ scores positively and significantly beyond the roles of both pathological narcissism and impulsivity. Finally, mediation analyses showed that impulsivity partially mediated the relationships between aggression and both grandiose narcissism and spitefulness. Our results support the hypothesis that spitefulness plays an important role in the prediction of aggressiveness. Finally, impulsivity seems to be a central common variable that explains the relationship between pathological personality traits and aggressive behavior among individuals convicted of violent offenses.

“…The close association between some of these conditions and reoffending (e.g. between cluster B Personality disorders and violent reoffending- Lowenstein et al, 2016), means that assessment of risk and collaboration between the MHS and CJS is a priority. Nurses and prison doctors responsible for treatment of the general population in local municipalities are also employed in prison on a part or full time basis and serve as a first source of support for mentally ill offenders.…”

Purpose Effective collaboration between mental health services (MHS) and criminal justice services (CJS) impacts on mental illness and reduces reoffending rates. This paper proposes the change laboratory model (CLM) of workplace transformation as a potential tool to support interagency collaborative practice that has potential to complement current integration tools used in this context. The purpose of this paper is to focus specifically on the theoretical dimension of the model: the cultural historical activity systems theory (CHAT) as a theoretical perspective that offers a framework with which interactions between the MHS and CJS can be better understood. Design/methodology/approach The structure and rationale behind future piloting of the change laboratory in this context is made. Then CHAT theory is briefly introduced and then its utility illustrated in the presentation of the findings of a qualitative study of leaders from MHS and CJS that explored their perspectives of the characteristics of collaborative working between MHS and prison/probation services in a Norwegian context and using CHAT as an analytical framework. Findings Leaders suggested that interactions between the two services, within the Norwegian system at least, are most salient when professionals engage in the reintegration and rehabilitation of the offender. Achieving effective communication within the boundary space between the two systems is a focus for professionals engaging in interagency working and this is mediated by a range of integration tools such as coordination plans and interagency meetings. Formalised interagency agreements and informal, unspoken norms of interaction governed this activity. Key challenges limiting the collaboration between the two systems included resource limitations, logistical issues and differences in professional judgments on referral and confidentiality. Originality/value Current tools with which MHS/CJS interactions are understood and managed, fail to make explicit the dimensions and nature of these complex interactions. The CLM, and CHAT as its theoretical underpinning, has been highly successful internationally and in other clinical contexts, as a means of exploring and developing interagency working. It is a new idea in prison development, none as yet being applied to the challenges facing the MHS and CJS. This paper addresses this by illustrating the use of CHAT as an analytical framework with which to articulate MHS/CJS collaborations and the potential of the CLM more widely to address current challenges in a context specific, bottom-up and fluid approach to interagency working in this environment.

“…Two of these appear to be particularly relevant because of their power for predicting violent offending: emotion dysregulation and impulsivity.Individuals demonstrating elevated levels of BPD symptomatology may have issues related to impulsivity and emotion dysregulation. However, while both of these constructs are characteristic of BPD, recent research has led to the conclusion that the BPD-violent offending relationship is likely better explained by a diminished capacity for regulating emotions [10]. Despite this growing sentiment, there is a dearth of research that examines both of these constructs together as mediators of the BPD-violent offending relationship to provide more complete understanding of the degree to which each…”

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is mental illness characterized by instability in mood and social relationships, impulsivity, and impaired identity formation [1]. The symptoms of BPD may be pervasive in their impact on social functioning [2,3]. Further, while past research has indicated that remission of BPD may be observed, remission occurs less often than it does in other personality disorders [4]. BPD symptomatology has also been linked to numerous undesirable behavioral and health outcomes [5][6][7]. One particularly problematic outcome that has been linked to BPD symptoms is violent offending [8,9]. There are numerous components of the BPD symptom constellation that may contribute to this elevated risk. Two of these appear to be particularly relevant because of their power for predicting violent offending: emotion dysregulation and impulsivity.Individuals demonstrating elevated levels of BPD symptomatology may have issues related to impulsivity and emotion dysregulation. However, while both of these constructs are characteristic of BPD, recent research has led to the conclusion that the BPD-violent offending relationship is likely better explained by a diminished capacity for regulating emotions [10]. Despite this growing sentiment, there is a dearth of research that examines both of these constructs together as mediators of the BPD-violent offending relationship to provide more complete understanding of the degree to which each
