“…Proximal factors – that is, those that are currently present or occurred in the recent past – may be of particular relevance, as transitions between classifications of violence likely reflect changes in clinical functioning. Specifically, alcohol and drug use are known correlates of violence (Swanson et al, 2006; Van Dorn et al, 2012; Witt et al, 2013) and victimization (Goodman et al, 2001; Hiday et al, 1999; Teasdale, 2009) among adults with mental illnesses, and recent findings support their association with both outcomes in the same sample (Johnson et al, 2015; Roaldset & Bjørkly, 2015). Similarly, although the empirical evidence regarding strength and direction of associations is somewhat mixed, psychiatric symptoms are widely regarded as relevant to risk of violence and victimization in this population (Bjørkly, 2002; Douglas et al, 2009; Fazel et al, 2009; Roaldset & Bjørkly, 2015; Teasdale, 2009; Van Dorn et al, 2016).…”

Finally, suicidal behaviors, including ideation and attempts, have been linked to increased risk of violence (Hillbrand, 2001; Witt et al, 2013; Witt et al, 2014) and victimization (Brown et al, 2013) in adults with mental illnesses; recent findings have also demonstrated stronger associations with violence and victimization than associations observed with either outcome alone (Roaldset & Bjørkly, 2015).…”

Prior research suggests considerable overlap of violence perpetration and victimization among adults with mental illnesses. However, there has been no examination of how the likelihood of being a victim and/or perpetrator of violence may change over time, nor consideration of clinically-relevant factors affecting these transitions. In a pooled sample of adults with mental illnesses (N=3,473) we employed latent transition analysis to: (a) determine prevalence of four violence and victimization classifications (i.e., non-victim/non-perpetrator, victim only, perpetrator only, and victim-perpetrator) over a 6-month period; (b) calculate the likelihood that adults with mental illnesses will remain in or transition between these classifications over time; and (c) assess the effects of recent substance use, psychiatric symptoms, and suicidal behaviors on transitions over time. At each time point, the majority of participants identified as non-victim/non-perpetrators, followed by victim-perpetrators, victims only, and perpetrators only. Analyses also revealed many individuals transitioned between classifications over time. These distinct pathways towards, and away from, violent outcomes were, in part, a function of recent violence and/or victimization, as well as substance use, psychiatric symptoms, and suicidal behaviors. Findings inform the identification of adults with mental illnesses at risk of violence and victimization and highlight points of intervention.

“…Walsh et al (2003) reported similar findings based on British data. Teasdale (2009) found that the level of severity of mental disorder symptoms is positively associated with victimization among a sample of mentally disordered respondents.…”

“…Studies also show positive relationships between mental disorders and victimization in society (Goodman et al 2001;Hiday et al 1999Hiday et al , 2001Kelly and McKenna 1997;Silver 2002;Silver et al 2005;Swartz et al 1998;Teasdale 2009;Walsh et al 2003). Many scholars attribute the victimization of the mentally ill to the deinstitutionalization movement of mental patients during the 1970s (e.g., Accordino and Porter 2001;Kelly and McKenna 1997).…”

The authors use the Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities 2004, which includes 18,185 respondents, to examine why some inmates are more likely to experience violent victimization in prison, focusing on the effects of mental disorders, physical disabilities, and physical size. The authors test four hypotheses based on patterns of minor versus serious victimization and two mediators for provocative behaviors: verbal abuse and physical assault. (1) The authors do not find much support for the hypothesis that inmates with mental disorders, physical disabilities, or small physical size are stigmatized as being vulnerable. Inmates with symptoms of delusions are the only exception. (2) The authors do not find support for the hypothesis that inmates with mental disorders are labeled as being threatening, but they do find support for inmates with larger physical size. (3) The authors find support for the hypothesis that provocation contributes to the victimization of inmates with some types of mental disorders: personality disorders and paranoid thoughts. The victimization of inmates with other mental disorders is not explained by provocation, however. (4) The authors find tentative support for the hypothesis of reversed causality between some types of physical disabilities and serious violent victimization: Paralysis and brain injuries are probably consequences of serious violent victimization while in prison. In contrast, arthritis is a risk factor for victimization.

The relationship between mental illness and violence has been subjected to much empirical scrutiny. Early research suggested that mental disorders have no association with violence or victimization. However, recent research has indicated the contrary. This entry will report on the empirical evidence for the epidemiology of violence by and against persons with mental illnesses and will provide theoretical explanations for such findings.
