Abstract:

Background: There is an association between schizophrenia and violence, although the specific drivers for this link remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationships between childhood adversity, conduct disorder, substance misuse and violence among men with schizophrenia. It has been suggested that there may be different pathways to violence in schizophrenia, one primarily linked with pre-morbid conduct disorder, so patients were specifically grouped on the basis of pre-morbid conduct disorder. Methods: Ninety-three male participants were recruited for the study, fifty-four with sc

Abstract:

Evidence that individuals distinguish between moral and conventional rules is reviewed. Moral rules prohibit actions that result in victims (e.g., violence, stealing, etc.). Conventional rules prohibit actions that do not result in victims (e.g., not saying please, dressing in opposite sex clothes). Previous theoretical accounts of the development of the moral/conventional distinction are discussed. These theories are contrasted with an approach that is developed here. It is proposed that there is a mechanism, a Violence Inhibition Mechanism (VIM), that is responsible for the previously observ

Abstract:

To date, a significant proportion of research has predominantly focused upon childhood abuse and neglect (CAB) without considering the impact of exposure to wider forms of trauma. This thesis therefore examines the impact of exposure to recurrent CAN and multiple traumatisation (i.e. exposure to recurrent CAN and at least one wider form of trauma) upon emotion regulation (ER) and the perpetration of violence. Chapter Two presents a systematic review that explored the literature on factors associated with the impact of recurrent CAN in comparison to multiple forms of victimisation among an adol

This thesis investigated the generalist or specialist theories of offending by examining the overlap of, sex differences in, and predictors of intimate partner violence (IPV), general violence and nonviolent offending.

However, generalist theories (e.g. Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990; Felson, 2002) suggest that crimes stem from the same etiology and share some com

Abstract Conduct disorder (CD) among girls is a common but seldom studied psychiatric disorder. The aim of this study was to examine risk factors for CD, the factor structure of CD symptoms, suicidal behaviour, comorbid disorders and nicotine dependence of adolescent girls with CD in an inpatient sample in Northern Finland. The study subjects were 508 12- to 17-year-old inpatients treated in an acute psychiatric ward, Unit 70, at Oulu University Hospital between April 2001 and March 2006.

Abstract:

South African schools are quickly, and progressively, becoming arenas for violent behaviour. These days, schools are no longer considered safe and protected environments where children can go to learn, develop, enjoy themselves, and feel secure. Rather, schools are being defined as unsafe and dangerous settings for teaching and learning, plagued by various forms of school violence (Van Jaarsveld, 2008). According to De Wet (2003), the causes of school violence are numerous and exceptional to each violent incident. Research indicates that most perpetrators of school violence are in the adolesce

Abstract:

Traditional understandings of violence by the mentally disordered largely look to mental illness to explain such behaviour. More recently, research has begun to examine the role of alternative factors in driving violent offending in this context. Masculinity is one such factor to which little consideration has thus far been given, in spite of a wealth of literature which associates the construction and maintenance of a masculine identity with violence in the non-mentally disordered context. This thesis proceeds from these current understandings, and examines the nature of the relationship betw

This is a fundamental aspect of affronting the risk of committing aggressive acts. The aims of the study were the following: (a) to investigate the differences between patients with a poor m
