Patients with schizophrenia have been shown to have an increased risk of criminality, especially violent crimes.
The aim of the current study was to describe the pattern of crimes committed by Danish patients with schizophrenia and examine the sanctions given for crimes in relation to the different periods in the patients' lives: not yet known to the psychiatric hospital system, known to the system but not yet diagnosed with schizophrenia, and after being diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Information from the Danish Psychiatric Central Research Register was correlated with data from the Danish National Crime Register.
One of the more prominent findings was that 16% of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia receive a prison sentence or a suspended prison sentence, despite the fact that Denmark is a co-signatory of the European Prison Rules and should treat, rather than imprison, individuals with schizophrenia.
The findings suggest that greater alertness is needed in the judicial system for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
已有研究表明，精神分裂症患者犯罪风险增加，尤其是暴力犯罪。
本研究旨在描述丹麦精神分裂症患者的犯罪模式，并考察针对其在不同生活阶段所犯罪行的制裁情况：尚未被精神病医院系统知晓时、已被系统知晓但尚未被诊断为精神分裂症时，以及被诊断为精神分裂症之后。
将丹麦精神病学中央研究登记处的信息与丹麦国家犯罪登记处的数据进行关联。
一项较为突出的发现是，尽管丹麦是《欧洲监狱规则》的签署国，应对精神分裂症患者进行治疗而非监禁，但仍有16%被诊断为精神分裂症的患者被判处监禁或缓刑。
研究结果表明，司法系统需要对被诊断为精神分裂症的个体提高警惕。
