Offenders are at elevated risk for interpersonal violence victimization (IVV), which is a risk factor for suicide-related outcomes in some populations, suggesting the importance of examining risk associated with IVV in offenders.
The present study examined the association between IVV and suicidal ideation (SI) among criminal offenders in a pretrial jail diversion program in the United States.
266 offenders were screened for ten common Axis I psychiatric disorders along with current SI and past-year IVV.
Past-year IVV was significantly associated with current SI, and the association remained significant after adjusting for symptoms of ten Axis I psychiatric disorders, respectively and simultaneously. Gender did not moderate the IVV-SI association.
The findings support a connection between IVV and SI in criminal offenders.
罪犯遭受人际暴力侵害(IVV)的风险较高,而在某些人群中,IVV 是与自杀相关结局的一个风险因素,这表明在罪犯中检查与 IVV 相关的风险很重要。
本研究在美国的一项审前监狱分流计划中,调查了 IVV 与有犯罪记录者自杀意念(SI)之间的关系。
对 266 名罪犯进行了十种常见的轴 I 精神障碍以及当前 SI 和过去一年 IVV 的筛查。
过去一年的 IVV 与当前 SI 显著相关,并且在分别和同时调整十种轴 I 精神障碍的症状后,该关联仍然显著。性别并未调节 IVV-SI 之间的关联。
这些发现支持了在犯罪者中 IVV 与 SI 之间的联系。
