“…These findings support previous results comparing victimization of mentally ill patients with that of the general population (e.g. Hiday et al , 1999; Marley & Buila, 1999; Silver, 2002). Although students and the mentally ill patients are arguably equally vulnerable to life‐style risk from factors such as unemployment, we did find differences between the two groups.…”

“…Also, much of the research has been conducted in the US (e.g. Hiday et al , 1999; Marley & Buila, 1999). This may not adequately reflect the experiences mentally ill patients have in the UK.…”

“…We also explored the reporting rates of mentally ill patients. This issue has received little consideration and so not much is known about mentally ill patients' revelations of victimization to the police or others (Marley & Buila, 1999). To our knowledge, only one study (Marley & Buila, 1999) has looked at disclosure of victimization by mentally ill patients.…”

To our knowledge, only one study (Marley & Buila, 1999) has looked at disclosure of victimization by mentally ill patients. This may be an important issue relating not only to assessing the action taken by the victims, but also the responses and actions taken by those to whom the victimization was revealed.…”

Purpose. Although criminal victimization of mentally ill patients has been researched, what little work there is focuses on in‐patient samples. This study aimed to compare crimes against mentally ill patients living in the community with crimes against students who have a high life‐style risk of victimization. Methods. The samples were selected via community‐based mental health services and a university population. A group of 40 mentally ill patients and 80 students reported experiences of victimization in the previous 12 months and attitudes towards the police. Results. Female mentally ill patients reported the highest victimization, but both male and female patients reported more victimization than did students. Mentally ill patients also held more negative opinions of the police. Conclusions. The results show that mentally ill patients experience more victimization when compared with the victimization experiences of a similar life‐style risk group. Discussion focuses on the implications for mentally ill patients living in the community, the support networks available to them, and relations between the police and mentally ill patients.

“…Marley and Buila (1999) examined the reported perpetrator of violent crimes among women and men with mental illness. Among women who were victims primarily of sexual crimes, identifi able perpetrators were most frequently family/relatives (26%), followed by service providers (18%), friends (10%), government offi cials (6%), and clergy (4%).…”

The Reality of Persecutory Beliefs: Base Rate Information for Clinicians

When an individual describes persecution, how does one know whether this constitutes reality or a delusion? An erroneous clinical decision can lead to unnecessary treatment or lack of appropriate treatment. Knowledge of base rates of relevant events can inform the decision-making process and potentially increase the accuracy of clinical judgments. This article reviews base rates of events that could be perceived as delusions as well as the correlates associated with these events. Commonly occurring events include discrimination, mental illness stigma, criminal victimization, infi delity, conspiracy beliefs, and stalking. Surveillance and intentional poisoning are rare events. Clinicians who possess accurate base rates of events and their correlates will likely engage in more informed and accurate clinical judgments.

The number of individuals with mental illness involved with the criminal justice system has increased over the past 40 years. Several factors have influenced this growth, including the deinstitutionalization movement, changes in commitment laws, tougher drug control laws (Lurigio, 2001), and general attitudes of "lock 'em up" (Lamb & Weinberger, 1998;Teplin, 1983). Regardless of the reason, the criminal justice system is dealing with more and more individuals with mental illness. According to recent studies, 2.7% to 5.
