“…Only when combined with co-morbid substance abuse, was severe mental illness significantly related to a higher incidence of violence. Additional lines of research have confirmed the moderating effect of SUD coupled with mental illness among adult samples (Ferguson, Ogloff, & Thomson, 2009;Ogloff et al, 2004;Rezansoff et al, 2013;Steadman et al, 1998;Wallace, Mullen, & Burgess, 2004). Alternatively, a few studies have found a significant relationship between mental illness and the likelihood of violence, irrespective of substance abuse (Short, Thomas, Mullen, & Ogloff, 2013;Van Dorn, Volavka, & Johnson, 2012).…”

“…(The lone exception was personality pathology and psychopathy, both of which had robust associations with general and violent recidivism.) Among the very few studies, however, that examined the predictive validity of LS risk measures among dually diagnosed adult patients, Ferguson et al (2009) found that the LSI-R:SV did not significantly predict any recidivism outcomes (AUC values ranged from .50 to .51). The relationship of mental disorder and dual diagnosis with criminogenic needs has yet to be examined in young offender populations and thus will be a focus of the present study.…”

Young offender populations typically display high rates of substance use pathology and mental health concerns, however, little is known regarding how these factors relate to dynamic risk factors for reoffending (criminogenic needs) among young offenders. The present study investigated a Canadian sample of 186 youth charged with serious/violent offenses on measures of psychopathology, substance abuse, risk, and recidivism. Significant relationships were found between measures of substance abuse with most indices of the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI), a validated risk assessment tool designed to assess criminogenic risk and need. Furthermore, measures of substance abuse predicted general, violent, and nonviolent recidivism for both youth and adult outcomes to varying degrees. Youth with disruptive behavior disorders, comorbid substance use concerns with another disorder (dual diagnosis), or with two or more disorders evidenced more serious criminogenic need profiles, whereas mood, anxiety, and cognitive disorders were unrelated to criminogenic risk. With the exception of conduct disorder and substance use pathology, mental health concerns tended not to be related to recidivism. The implications of these findings in terms of assessing risk and providing treatment services for young offenders is discussed in relation to the risk-need responsivity (RNR) model of effective correctional intervention.

“…Drug offenders are among the groups mentioned as difficult to assess (Andrews & Bonta, 2010). Different risk assessment measures have been validated for some groups including mentally disordered offenders (Ferguson, Ogloff, & Thompson, 2009), male batterers (Hendricks, Werner, Shipway, & Turinetti, 2006), adult and juvenile sex offenders (Prentky & Righthand, 2003; Vrana & Sroga, 2008) and adult drug offenders (Kelly & Welsh, 2008). However, no corresponding validations have been conducted among juvenile drug offenders.…”

Understanding the criminogenic risk factors and treatment needs of juvenile drug offenders is important because of the myriad negative outcomes that befall juveniles that are involved in drugs. A widely used juvenile risk assessment tool, the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) was utilized to explore criminogenic risk factors and treatment needs to predict recidivism. Demographic differences between drug and nondrug offenders were also examined. Results suggested that of the eight YLS/CMI domains, the substance abuse domain was not predictive of recidivism for juvenile drug offenders. However, peer relationships and attitudes significantly predicted future recidivism, suggesting that case planners should pay particular attention to these domains when designing a treatment plan for this group. Cox Regression Hazard Modeling was also used to estimate risk for recidivism among juvenile drug offenders as compared to other juvenile offenders. Results revealed that while juvenile drug offenders had a significantly higher score for substance use, they were not more likely to recidivate than nondrug offenders. Implications are discussed.

“…The forensic psychiatric inpatient population has been shown to have alarmingly high rates of substance use histories (Ferguson, Ogloff, & Thomson, 2009;Kaur, Daffern, & Thomas, 2009;Mueser, et al, 2000;Ogloff, Lemphers, & Dwyer, 2004;Scott, Whyte, Burnett, Hawley, & Maden, 2004). In the UK, the rate of substance use in the inpatient population is twice the rate observed in the general population .…”

Co-morbid substance dependence is common in patients of secure psychiatric services. Identifying opportunities for intervention, monitoring progress in treatment and assessing risk of relapse are compromised by this group's limited access to illicit substances. This research investigated the validity of the substance use paralleling behaviour (SUPB) framework, which was developed to assist staff in identifying behaviours indicative of substance dependence in controlled environments. Thirty-one patients admitted to the acute units of a secure forensic psychiatric hospital were interviewed and assessed with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scales, the structured clinical interview for DSM disorders substance use disorders module, and an original questionnaire measuring motivations for drug use and behaviours indicative of substance dependence in a controlled setting (SUPBs). Results showed that patients with a history of substance dependence preceding admission engaged in more SUPBs during hospitalisation than patients without a history of substance dependence. Severity of psychiatric illness was unrelated to the frequency of requests for Pro re nata (PRN) medication and SUPBs. These results provide preliminary support for the SUPB framework and suggest that these behaviours might usefully be considered by staff of secure psychiatric hospitals when planning treatment, measuring progress and ascertaining risk of relapse. Opportunities for clinical application and future research are discussed.
