“…Consider first the possibility of an increase in frequency of illness. In the four sites that were included in the present study and in many others (Brinded, 2000;Macintyre, McNamara, Irwin, Gray, & Darjee, 2004;Melzer et al, 2004;Mullen et al, 2000;Munk-Jorgenson, 1999;Nilsson & Persson, 1997;Schanda, Ortwein-Swoboda, Knecht, & Gruber, 2000;Taborda, Cardoso, & Morono, 2000;Taylor et al, 1998) most forensic beds are filled by men with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. While a recent systematic review found no evidence of an increase in the incidence of schizophrenia, the most striking finding was the wide variation in incident rates across studies (McGrath et al, 2004).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the link between violence, crime, and sexual behavior among patients with substance-related disorder admitted to a specialized inpatient care unit. This was a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics, drug of choice (DOC), questions about sexual behavior, and instruments to evaluate the severity of dependence (SADD, DAST, FTND), level of impulsivity (BIS-11), and a screening sex addiction scale. The sample consisted of 587 adult subjects, of which 82.3% were men, 66.4% had used cocaine (sniffed and smoked) as their DOC, 24.4% had a history with the criminal justice system, 26.8% had committed crimes, 19.3% had engaged in violent behavior, and 12.2% had been involved in drug trafficking. In this sample, crime was strongly associated with various sexual behaviors and the severity of substance dependence.

“…Coid, 2001;Tuninger, 2001). Em relação ao diagnóstico de transtorno de personalidade, este trabalho encontrou um percentual pequeno (n = 8; 3%), próximo do observado no estudo realizado no Instituto Psiquiátrico Forense do Rio Grande do Sul (Taborda, 2000), porém muito abaixo do observado no estudo realizado na Inglaterra (Taylor, 1998), que encontrou percentual em torno de 41%. Essa diferença é justificada pelo fato de o último estudo ter contabilizado todos os diagnósticos de transtornos de personalidade, mesmo quando apareciam como co-morbidade.…”

“…Esse estudo revelou, em relação à prática criminosa, que 74% cometeram crimes de violência contra pessoas (homicídio, tentativa de homicídio e agressão) e 9% cometeram crime sexual. Em relação ao diagnóstico observado, existe predomínio de esquizofrenia (62%), seguida por 8% de retardo mental, 7% de transtornos de personalidade e 6% de transtorno afetivo bipolar (Taborda, 2000).…”

ResumoObjetivo: Estudar a população de uma casa de custódia quanto a aspectos criminais, diagnóstico clínico e perfil da vítima. Métodos: Foram examinados os prontuários de 269 pacientes durante o ano de 2005. Considerou-se apenas a população do gênero masculino cujos casos já tinham laudo anexado ao prontuário psiquiátrico-criminal. Resultados: Foi encontrado predomínio de transtornos psicóticos (58%). O crime mais freqüente foi contra a vida (52,8%), sendo o grupo dos pacientes psicóticos o que teve maior associação com esse tipo de crime (p < 0,05). Desses crimes, 89,7% resultaram em morte e em 34,5% a vítima era um parente próximo. Os sujeitos com retardo mental cometeram proporcionalmente mais crimes sexuais quando comparados com os pacientes psicóticos e considerando somente crime sexual ou contra a vida (p < 0,05). Em 78,5% dos crimes sexuais as vítimas tinham idade inferior a 14 anos. Conclusão: A população estudada é semelhante às de outras instituições com o mesmo perfil. Os achados em relação às características das vítimas, tanto nos casos de homicídio pelos psicóticos como nos crimes sexuais dos sujeitos com retardo mental, indicam que aspectos da vítima têm papel importante no crime. Palavras-chave: psiquiatria forense, doença mental, comportamento violento, casa de custódia. AbstractObjective: To study the population of a high security hospital according to its criminal records, clinical diagnosis and victim profile. Methods: The records of 269 patients were analyzed, considering only male patients whose medical reports had already been included in the criminal-psychiatric records. Results: Psychotic disorders were the most common findings (58%). The most common type of crime was murder or murder attempt (52.8%), with a significant correlation between psychotic disorders and this type of crime (p < 0.05). These crimes led to death in 89.7% of the cases, and in 34.5% the victim was a close relative. Mentally retarded patients committed proportionally more sexual crimes when compared to psychotic patients and considering only sexual crimes or murder attempts (p < 0.05). In 78.5% of all sexual crimes the victims were under 14 years old. Conclusion: The studied population is similar to the ones of other institutions with the same profile. The data on the victims, both murders committed by psychotic patients and sexual crimes committed by mentally retarded individuals, show that aspects of the victim are to be considered when analyzing the crime.
