The frequency of violent behavior among inpatients on an acute psychiatric unit for veterans was examined. Violent behavior was assessed using a modified Lion scale in 93 white and 24 black consecutively admitted inpatients receiving a fixed dose of neuroleptic. Blacks were significantly less violent according to the Lion scale. Item analysis revealed that whites made more violent threats, committed more violent acts against self, and were more likely to be secluded or restrained. Blacks were less likely to commit multiple acts against others, although the actual numbers of violent episodes were not significantly different. No racial differences were seen in serum neuroleptic level, psychopathology as measured by the BPRS, or admission status. The same racial differences in violence were seen when either schizophrenics alone or paranoid schizophrenics were considered.
对一家退伍军人急性精神科病房住院患者的暴力行为频率进行了检查。使用改良的莱昂量表对93名白人和24名黑人连续入院且接受固定剂量抗精神病药物治疗的患者的暴力行为进行评估。根据莱昂量表，黑人的暴力行为明显较少。项目分析显示，白人发出更多暴力威胁，对自己实施更多暴力行为，并且更有可能被隔离或约束。黑人对他人实施多次暴力行为的可能性较小，尽管暴力事件的实际数量没有显著差异。在血清抗精神病药物水平、用简明精神病评定量表（BPRS）测量的精神病理学或入院状态方面未发现种族差异。单独考虑精神分裂症患者或偏执型精神分裂症患者时，也观察到了相同的暴力行为种族差异。
