Family and social influences on offending in men with schizophrenia.
Environmental influences have been reported to play a role in the genesis of both schizophrenia and violent behaviour. ⋯ We were able to identify characteristic unfavourable family and social influences which were associated in schizophrenic patients with a high risk of offending behaviour. This offers the prospect of early detection of those with schizophrenia who will go on to offend.
