This cross-sectional study conducted in prisons in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, investigated the association between the presence of psychiatric disorders in 462 prisoners and the types of crimes committed by them. Psychiatric diagnosis was obtained by means of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. A statistically significant association was found between some psychiatric disorders and specific groups of crime: lifelong substance addiction with sex crimes and homicide; antisocial personality disorder with robbery and with kidnapping and extortion; borderline personality disorder with sex crimes; and lifelong alcohol addiction with fraud and conspiracy and with armed robbery and murder. It was concluded that the mental disorders considered more severe (psychosis and bipolar disorder) were not associated with violent crimes, suggesting that the severity of the psychotic disorder may be the factor that has caused psychosis to be associated with violent crimes in previous studies.
这项在巴西巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多市监狱进行的横断面研究，调查了462名囚犯中精神疾病的存在与他们所犯罪行类型之间的关联。通过巴西葡萄牙语版的《迷你国际神经精神病学访谈》进行精神科诊断。研究发现，一些精神疾病与特定犯罪群体之间存在统计学上的显著关联：终身物质成瘾与性犯罪和杀人罪相关；反社会人格障碍与抢劫罪、绑架罪和敲诈勒索罪相关；边缘型人格障碍与性犯罪相关；终身酒精成瘾与欺诈罪、共谋罪、武装抢劫罪和谋杀罪相关。研究得出结论，被认为更严重的精神障碍（精神病和双相情感障碍）与暴力犯罪无关，这表明精神病性障碍的严重程度可能是导致先前研究中精神病与暴力犯罪相关联的因素。
