Clinical, developmental and environmental factors were retrospectively studied in 14 adolescent murderers who had been referred to a forensic psychiatric clinic over an 11 year period. Results of these analyses were compared with findings from previous reports. The majority of subjects came from split families. There was a greater than expected degree of psychiatric illness in the adolescents. Previous psychiatric contact, antisocial behaviour and substance abuse were common among these adolescents. A tentative profile of adolescents who are likely to commit murder can therefore be drawn up, which may suggest direction for preventive action and rehabilitation.
我们对14名青少年杀人犯进行了回顾性研究，这些青少年在11年的时间里被转介到一家法医精神病诊所，研究内容包括临床、发育和环境因素。我们将这些分析结果与之前报告的研究结果进行了比较。大多数受试者来自破裂家庭。这些青少年中精神疾病的程度高于预期。之前的精神科就诊史、反社会行为和药物滥用在这些青少年中很常见。因此，可以勾勒出可能实施谋杀的青少年的初步概况，这可能为预防行动和康复提供指导方向。
