“…Verificou-se Esquizofrenia, psicopatologia e crime violento: uma revisão reVisÃo De LiterAturA 5% (n = 85) de homicidas com diagnóstico de esquizofrenia anterior ao crime e concluiu-se haver uma possível associação entre esquizofrenia e condenação por homicídio (Shaw et al, 2006). Outros estudos utilizando metodologia semelhante, ou seja, estimativa de prevalência de esquizofrenia entre condenados por homicídio, constataram resultados semelhantes (Teplin, 1990;Eronen et al, 1996). Ainda na Inglaterra, Brugha et al (2005) compararam duas amostras de pacientes com psicose selecionadas de prisões e da comunidade geral, utilizando o questionário semi-estruturado SCAN (Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry).…”

Palavras-chavesEsquizofrenia, psicose, psicopatologia, crime violento. resumo objetivo: Estudar, mediante uma revisão sistemática da literatura científica, a relação esquizofrenia, psicose e violência. métodos: Realizou-se uma busca eletrônica por meio das bases de dados Medline, SciELO e Lilacs, até a data de junho de 2006, considerando artigos de línguas inglesa e portuguesa. resultados: Um número de pesquisas revela associação entre esquizofrenia e comportamento violento, principalmente quando existe comorbidade com abuso de substâncias. Aspectos específicos dos delírios são relacionados com comportamento violento, como maior grau de convicção e presença de delírios de controle e perseguição. Conclusões: Apesar de limitações metodológicas, alguns aspectos da psicopatologia aguda da psicose e da comorbidade de abuso de substâncias parecem estar fortemente relacionados à presença de comportamento violento entre pacientes psicóticos. De acordo com os estudos analisados, somente uma pequena parcela da violência social poder ser atribuída a esse grupo de pacientes. Novas pesquisas deverão futuramente permitir prever antecipadamente o risco de um comportamento violento, permitindo com isso intervenções preventivas e redução do processo de estigmatização.

“…After reviewing the results of our 115 telephone interviews and our field notes from the 127 interviews during the 18 site visits, we identified six factors that were consistently found among the most effective jail diversion programs: (1) integrated services, (2) mental health and criminal justice, with educational degrees being of lesser importance. When respondents were asked to describe the kind of case manager who works well in the diversion program, 56% considered knowledge and experience in both criminal justice and mental health to be ideal.…”

OBJECTIVES. A major proposal for appropriately treating persons with mental illnesses who have been arrested is to divert them from jail to community-based mental health programs. However, there are few available definitions, guidelines, and principles for developing effective diversion programs. The goal of this research was to determine the number and kinds of jail diversion programs that exist, how they are set up, and which types of programs are effective. METHODS. On the basis of information gathered during a national mail survey (n = 1263) and follow-up telephone survey of 115 responding jails, 18 sites were selected for on-site interviews based on perceived effectiveness and presence of a formal diversion program. RESULTS. Data are presented from a national sample of jail diversion programs (n = 18). Key factors for developing diversion programs and descriptors of effective programs are presented. CONCLUSIONS. It is clear that controlled, longitudinal studies of these programs' effectiveness, using client-based and organizational outcome measures, are badly needed.

“…A Department of Justice (DOJ) survey found, for example, that roughly 16% of prison and jail inmates have some form of mental illness (Ditton, 1999). A rigorous epidemiologic study of jail detainees in Cook County, Illinois found prevalence rates that, while less than half that of the DOJ study, were nonetheless still nearly five times higher than those of the general population, even after adjusting for the detainees' sociodemographic characteristics (Teplin, 1990). By the mid-1990s these trends, coupled with the downsizing of the public mental health system, had so altered the landscape of mental health service delivery in the US that the Los Angeles County jail had become the nation's largest provider of institutionally-based psychiatric services (Torrey, 1995).…”

The problems posed by persons with mental illness involved with the criminal justice system are vexing ones that have received attention at the local, state and national levels. The conceptual model currently guiding research and social action around these problems is shaped by the "criminalization" perspective and the associated belief that reconnecting individuals with mental health services will by itself reduce risk for arrest. This paper argues that such efforts are necessary but possibly not sufficient to achieve that reduction. Arguing for the need to develop a services research framework that identifies a broader range of risk factors for arrest, we describe three potentially useful criminological frameworks-the "life course," "local life circumstances" and "routine activities" perspectives. Their utility as platforms for research in a population of persons with mental illness is discussed and suggestions are provided with regard to how services research guided by these perspectives might inform the development of community-based services aimed at reducing risk of arrest.
