Borderline personality disorder is characteristically associated with a broad variety of psychiatric symptoms and aberrant behaviors. In this edition of The Interface, we discuss the infrequently examined association between borderline personality disorder and criminality. According to our review of the literature, in comparison with the rates of borderline personality disorder encountered in the general population, borderline personality disorder is over-represented in most studies of inmates. At the same time, there is considerable variation in the reported rates of this Axis II disorder in prison populations, which may be attributed to the methodologies of and populations in the various studies. Overall, female criminals appear to exhibit higher rates of borderline personality disorder, and it is oftentimes associated with a history of childhood sexual abuse, perpetration of impulsive and violent crimes, comorbid antisocial traits, and incarceration for domestic violence.
边缘型人格障碍的典型特征是与各种各样的精神症状和异常行为相关联。在本期《界面》中，我们讨论边缘型人格障碍与犯罪之间鲜少被研究的关联。根据我们对文献的综述，与普通人群中边缘型人格障碍的发生率相比，在大多数囚犯研究中，边缘型人格障碍的比例过高。同时，监狱人群中这种轴II障碍的报告发生率存在相当大的差异，这可能归因于各项研究的方法和人群。总体而言，女性罪犯似乎表现出更高的边缘型人格障碍发生率，并且它常常与童年性虐待史、冲动和暴力犯罪行为、共病的反社会特质以及因家庭暴力而入狱有关。
