“…Yet murder accounts for 22% of female NGRI acquittees in Missouri. This is consistent with past research including female NGRI acquittees (Breheney, Groscup, & Galietta, 2007; Hodgins, Hebert, & Baraldi, 1986). In 1993, Perlin and Dorfman (1993) contended that legal decision making can be, among other attributes, sexist when deciding mental health related cases.…”

Homicide defendants asserting the insanity defense make a volatile combination. Numerous studies review inmates with murder convictions, yet the literature is not rich regarding defendants found not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) for murder. This study analyzes 27 years of insanity acquittals in Missouri, finding significant differences between those defendants found NGRI for murder and those found NGRI for other crimes. The get-tough-on-crime initiatives found in the criminal justice system may have led to longer hospital stays post-1996 for NGRI murder acquittees, yet hospitalization lengths increased for all NGRI acquittees, a potential unintended consequence. Policy implications and future research directions are discussed.

“…This study supported findings in previous research that mentally ill females committed more violent crimes per capita than did males (Hodgins et al, 1986;Maden et al, 1994;Rappeport & Lassen, 1966;Xie & Yamagami, 1996;Zonana et al, 1990). There are several factors that contribute to this phenomenon.…”

“…More than 90% of these cases are withdrawn by the public prosecutor before the decision of the judge (Katoh, 1994). Regardless of participant differences, the findings in this study were generally consistent with those in the limited literature concerning gender difference in mentally ill offenders, particularly NCR offenders (Binder & McNiel, 1990;Hodgins et al, 1986;Pasewark et al, 1979;Rogers, Sack, Bloom, & Marson, 1983;Seig et al, 1995;Xie, 1997;Xie & Yamagami, 1996;Zonana et al, 1990).…”

The entire population of 2,094 mentally ill offenders who were adjudicated as partially or fully not criminally responsible on account of mental disorders during the years of 1980 and 1994 throughout Japan were studied. Men were predominant. More than 60% of the participants had previously received psychiatric treatment. Schizophrenia and other psychoses were the most common diagnoses among both males and females. Females were more likely to be charged with violent crimes, and half of them committed homicide. Females attacked family members more often, and they were diagnosed with depression more often than were males. In contrast, males were more often charged with nonviolent crimes and had a greater number of criminal records. Despite the fact that persons diagnosed solely with personality disorders were largely excluded from the study, male mentally ill offenders still shared more negative demographic factors with male criminals in general, such as being unmarried, having a lower educational level, a poorer employment history, chaotic lives, and substance abuse problems.
