“…Exploration phase of victimization in nonviolent victims is the highest after 8 weeks (65.00%), then after 4-8 weeks (57.50%) and in 7.50% of cases 4 weeks after rape. Results are similar to the ones in other studies [31][32] with higher anomia in our region, vulnerable family [14][15][16][17], sensational media [33] without monitor ing in B&H [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…Non-violent victimization to mentally disordered persons in our study constitutes 20.67% (n = 31) of all victimization in research period and ranges from 17.13% (2003) [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. This is a consequence of deinstitutionalization and lack of protection of mentally disordered persons.…”

“…Psychoticism and neuroticism suggest presence of psychosis and behaviour disorders in non-violent group, and extraversion and conformism confirm violence to conspicuous persons. In nonviolent victims a circle of social segregation [14] with comorbidity [34] develops and there is serious stigmatisation in both groups [35] as well as fight against disease and stigma, possible mental disorders and suicidal thoughts [36]. On the HDRS depression, cognitive disorders and retardation are more frequent (P = 0.001), but in non-violent victimization (P = 0.005) anxiety and vegetative disorders are more frequent.…”

“…In forensic work victim does not give many data, due to the stigma, possible pregnancy etc [38]. In this group 30.00% of persons have been taking illegal substances before the rape, which reveals the problem of relation between the violent person and victim before [41], during and after the act, so that the delict situation remains completely undefined even after forensic exanimation [14,40].…”

“…In studying there are rapes with the use of drugs in order to break resistance of the victim, in cases when aged people commit violence or are violated [11][12][13][14]. Social problems are clear in anomia in younger population and broken home results in long-term vulnerability [15][16][17].…”

AIM: The aim of this study was to show the importance of mental disorders in victimologic analysis of socio-demographic and psychopathologic characteristics among victims of the sexual violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) in the post-war period from January 1 st 2003. to December 31 st 2012. METHODS: Our hypothesis on involvement of mental disorders in victimization was tested on a sample of 150 non-violent female victims with mental and behaviour disorders. The control group consists of 150 victims of violent victimization. The study has been designed as multicentric, retrospective form of a matched case-controlled study 1:1, it was statistically processed through multivariate analyses. RESULTS: In a regressive analysis, violent persons were separated from the non-violent ones by these redicting predictive factors: age (R = 0.731, df = 2, χ 2 = 3.341, P = 0.006, OR = 0.520 (95%), CI = 0.820-0.950), father's education, mother's education, house, mother's prostitution, PAS in family, sexual abuse and desire for victimization. Members of the control group had more often lived as lodgers (R = 0.015, χ 2 = 4.431, P = 0.007, OR = 0.203, CI = 0.390-0.492), with alcohol abuse and high rate of the family violence, nicotinism and sexual abuse. Psychological predictive factors in dividing non-violent from violent victims are: psychoticism (R = 0.791, χ 2 = 4.783 df = 1, P < 0.001, OR = 0.749, (95%) CI = 0.368-0,936), HDRS -total: (R = 1.174, χ 2 =10.341, df = 1, P < 0.001, OR = 0.770 (95%) CI = 0.650-0.910), incorporation, orientation, depressiveness and destructiveness with significance of P = 0.001 in Plutchi's test. CONCLUSION: Sexual violence among mentally disordered persons makes 20.50% of all victimizations which were committed by patients with personality disorders and neurotic persons. It has been demonstrated that females in B&H were more exposed to sexual violence because of poor mental health protection and increased violence in the family. Transgenerational model of the stress transmission, victimization in microsocial model of violence.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: Sexual violence is a substantial public health problem that is associated with a major impact on victims, and in Croatia, more than half of reported cases of sexual violence involve rape. To help understand their general profiles and consider any implications arising, the aim of this research was to describe the forensic psychiatric characteristics of people charged with rape. Methods: All evaluations of people charged with rape and sent for evaluation at the largest assessment centre in Croatia during the period 2010–2018 were analysed ( n = 56). Results: Alleged offences most often took place in a perpetrator or victim's home (71%), while the next most frequent location was the street (15%). Over 80% of alleged victims were known to the accused. Alcohol use and abuse were present in 73% of the accused, and 29% were drinking at the time of the alleged offence. Alcohol-related disorders were presented in 38% of the accused, while 38% had a personal history of drug use, and antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders were present in 48% and 29%, respectively. Psychotic disorders were rare (1.8%). Most of the accused were found to be criminally responsible; however, forensic psychiatric assessment procedures were inadequate when considering psychosexual assessments. Conclusions: Interventions based around public health and education should be considered in this field, and forensic psychiatric assessments should be prioritized for improvement.
