“…A substantial body of epidemiological, cohort, and case-control studies has shown associations between the risk factors described in this guideline and medium-to long-term relative risk of aggression in populations (Coid et al 2006;Doyle and Dolan 2006;Doyle et al 2012;Elbogen and Johnson 2009;Elbogen et al 2006;Eriksson et al 2011;Falk et al 2014;Harford et al 2013;Swanson et al 1990;Ten Have et al 2014;Van Dorn et al 2012;Whittington et al 2013;Witt et al 2013). However, there is no evidence that assessment of any of these factors can predict aggression in an individual (Buchanan et al 2012;Fazel et al 2012;Large et al 2011b;Rossegger et al 2013;Singh et al 2011Singh et al , 2014Thomas et al 2005).…”

“…For example, determining whether the patient shows an "increased use of alcohol or other substances" will require a comparison of patterns of use at two or more points and then determining if a clinically significant change has occurred. Diagnostic considerations can also be relevant, because research studies have identified diagnostic subgroups, such as individuals with substance use disorders or antisocial personality disorder, who show an increased relative risk of aggression on a longterm basis in community settings (for more information, see Coid et al 2006;Doyle and Dolan 2006;Doyle et al 2012;Elbogen and Johnson 2009;Elbogen et al 2006;Eriksson et al 2011;Falk et al 2014;Harford et al 2013;Swanson et al 1990;Ten Have et al 2014;Van Dorn et al 2012). Individuals in other settings, including psychiatric inpatient or forensic units, or with specific diagnoses may show somewhat different patterns of risk factors (Cornaggia et al 2011;Dack et al 2013;Douglas et al 2009;Doyle et al 2012;Fazel et al 2009aFazel et al , 2010, with substantial variability across studies.…”

Violence in healthcare is a prominent global concern. To prevent violence it is necessary to have an organized plan of action against violence. It is vital to learn where violence originates and then to develop an organized interventional plan to prevent violence. This article analyzes the origins [causes and risk factors] of violence and delineates the process and development of an evidence based violence prevention plan designed to negate violence risk factors and prevent violence. Specific techniques are presented for prevention and de-escalation of aggression to prevent violence. Strategies are determined for development and implementation of effective violence prevention plan utilizing holistic evidence based interventions to prevent/reduce healthcare violence for a safe and therapeutic environment for everyone.Implications for practice are strategies for best practice in safety and violence prevention. Environmental, patient and caregiver interventions for prevention of aggression and violence in healthcare facilities is delineated as well as psychosocial management of aggressive behavior for safety in the healthcare environment. An effective violence prevention educational plan is presented for holistic applications for decreasing healthcare violence promoting mental health, wellness and recovery.

Scientific research has shown that there is a causal association between crime, re-offence, and severe mental disorder. Numerous authors have found that psychosis, particularly schizophrenic psychosis, personality disorders, namely antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse are disorders, which considerably increase the criminal risk. The patients' decompensation and the associated comorbidity, in this regard, can never be neglected. Therefore, in this paper a review of literature was performed whose goals demonstrate: 1) the relationship between severe mental disorder and crime; 2) the relationship between severe mental disorder and re-offence; 3) the relationship between substance use and crime; 4) the relationship between substance use in individuals with severe mental disorder and crime and re-offence. Promoting the independence and well-being of these patients contributing to the maintenance of social peace, which requires timely monitoring and evaluation of the clinical condition and functionality of the individual, through articulation in a network, which would allow to assess and foster the skills of the individual as a social being. Crime, re-offence, and substance abuse of patients with severe mental disorderThe study of risk factors for juvenile criminal behavior, including the prediction of criminal behavior in adulthood, indicates that the association between psychopathology and crime must not be neglected.The prediction of criminal convictions in young adults, fifteen years after the evaluation of 1,086 Swiss children and adolescents, was analyzed [1]. The risk factors assessed in childhood and adolescence included socioeconomic status, migratory history, perceived parental behavior, family and social stressors, coping styles, externalization and internalization of problems, and drug abuse, including problematic alcohol consumption. These authors concluded that persistent criminal behavior throughout life, with onset during childhood, was associated with psychosocial adversities, cognitive deficits, psychopathology and difficulties in temperament, whereas criminal behavior limited to adolescence was conceived as a type of temporary mal-adjustment. Regardless of the design and methodology of the studies, there is a relationship between behavioral problems in childhood and adolescence, and subsequent criminality in adulthood [2]. Another risk factor is substance abuse [3]. Early drug use, including alcohol use, is related to subsequent crime, [4] predicting the use of so-called "hard drugs", persistent criminal behavior, even when controlled for other causes of behavioral problems.However, even if there were no studies on the relationship between psychopathology and juvenile criminal behavior that persisted into adulthood, it would be theoretically expected to find an association between psychopathology and crime in adults. Because normative behavior implies the individual's ability to understand the existing norms, values and laws, but also, and above all, the ability and desire to...
