“…The SPJ tools are rather based on factors that can predict repeat offending. However, predictors need not be related to the causes of crime (Wikström & Treiber, 2017), nor be of clinical importance (Dahlin, Hellner, Gumpert, Torstensson Levander, Svensson, & Radovic, 2009). Without knowledge of the causes of crime, it is difficult to prevent crime (Wikström & Treiber, 2017).…”

“…Criminal justice systems have developed various mechanisms to address the recidivist offending patterns of individuals with diagnosed psychological disorders (Dahlin et al , 2009; Vogel et al , 2014). This has included the defence of insanity at common law which has since been codified into legislation; guidelines in sentencing laws where psychological disorders have contributed to commission of the offence, and more recently the problem-solving court model (Chesser, 2016; Grudzinskas et al , 2005; Kimonis, 2015; Konrad and Lau, 2010; Perlin, 2013; Wilson et al , 2015).…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the ways in which the criminal justice system has evolved to accommodate mental illness. Mental health courts are one such alternative; these courts actively seek rehabilitative and therapeutic outcomes for participants. However, current literature suggests that these courts are ineffective for offenders who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Design/methodology/approach The aim of the current inquiry was to determine the degree to which participation in the Assessment and Referral Court (ARC) List in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria reduced re-offending rates for offenders diagnosed with BPD by providing a comparative analysis of pre and post ARC List offending. Findings The results of a two-year recidivism study suggest that successful completion of the ARC List reduces recidivism for 50% of offenders diagnosed with BPD. Originality/value To the authoring team’s knowledge, this is the second paper to explore the efficacy of the Assessment of Referral Court List (Magistrates’ Court of Victoria) in reducing recidivist behaviours for programme participants; however, it is the first paper to look specifically at the recidivist behaviours of participants of the Assessment of Referral Court List (Magistrates’ Court of Victoria) who have been diagnosed with BPD.

É importante salientar que o comportamento violento de indivíduos com transtornos mentais tratados, é evento incomum.…”

Os autores fazem uma revisão narrativa sobre a definição de crime, de violência e seus tipos, bem como as consequências para as vítimas. O relatório anual do Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública mostra que o país registrou 47.503 mortes violentas intencionais no ano de 2021. São também abordadas questões sobre comportamento violento perpetrado por indivíduos com e sem transtornos mentais. É importante a implementação de políticas públicas econômicas e sociais, incentivo às atividades desportivas e culturais e tratamento médico e psicoterápico de indivíduos com transtornos relacionados ao uso de álcool e substâncias, de forma a diminuir os índices de violência em nosso país.
