The aim of our study was to determine if there is a difference between the type of crime committed by persons diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that committed by other offenders. The study included 389 male patients at the Department of Forensic Psychiatry in Popovaca who underwent forensic psychiatric evaluation to establish a psychiatric diagnosis, evaluate the mental capacity, and provide advice on further treatment. The data on the number of individuals with PTSD vs. other psychiatric disorders and the data on family violence vs. other criminal acts were analyzed with chi2 test. Of a total of 389 forensically evaluated male patients, 45 (11.6%) suffered from PTSD. Study subjects with PTSD only or PTSD comorbid with the other psychiatric disorders committed family violence significantly more often than subjects diagnosed with the other psychiatric disorders chi2(1) = 40.092, P < 0.001. Subjects with PTSD, whether or not comorbid with the other psychiatric disorders, committed family violence significantly more often than subjects with other psychiatric diagnoses.
我们研究的目的是确定被诊断患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的人与其他罪犯所犯罪行的类型是否存在差异。该研究纳入了波波瓦察法医精神病学部门的389名男性患者，他们接受了法医精神病学评估，以确立精神病诊断、评估心理能力并提供进一步治疗的建议。使用卡方检验分析了患有PTSD与其他精神障碍的个体数量数据以及家庭暴力与其他犯罪行为的数据。在总共389名接受法医评估的男性患者中，45名（11.6%）患有PTSD。仅患有PTSD或PTSD合并其他精神障碍的研究对象实施家庭暴力的频率显著高于被诊断患有其他精神障碍的对象，卡方(1)=40.092，P<0.001。患有PTSD的对象，无论是否合并其他精神障碍，实施家庭暴力的频率均显著高于患有其他精神疾病诊断的对象。
