Measures of risk for violence and of aggression in a life history perspective linked to lethal violence among Swedish justice-involved women
The overall aim was to investigate links between measures of risk for violence and of aggression in a life history perspective and lethal violence among Swedish justice-involved women, and whether such measures differed between women with versus without a severe mental disorder (SMD). All registers of women (N = 175) charged with lethal or attempted lethal violence and subjected to a forensic psychiatric investigation in Sweden from 2000–2014 wer…
Autism as legal insanity – Neurocognitive and contextual arguments in Swedish forensic psychiatric evaluations
The specific circumstances under which autism spectrum disorder could meet the legal standards severe mental disorder (SMD; the core Swedish legal concept underpinning sentencing to forensic psychiatric care) in criminal court cases are unclear. AIM: To explore which neurocognitive and contextual factors that have been emphasized in the assessment of SMD in cases of autism spectrum disorder. METHOD: A randomized sample (N = 20) was derived from a…
Interventions to reduce relapse risk and drug craving in patients with substance use disorders in forensic psychiatric care
This systematic review suggests there is a lack of research aimed at the study of SUD interventions within FPC. Analysis of included articles found no conclusive evidence of effective treatments, but there seems to be an indication of a beneficial effect on drug use in one study, a treatment that addresses impulsivity. Further high-quality studies better tailored to FPC are needed to evaluate SUD treatment outcome among FPC patients
Experts' decision-making processes in Swedish forensic psychiatric investigations
It has previously been demonstrated that decisions made by forensic experts can suffer from issues with both bias and poor reliability. The outcome of Swedish forensic psychiatric investigations can have a major impact on the courts' choice of sanction for a mentally disordered offender. These investigations are performed by multi-professional teams of experts, where each expert is obliged to state their opinion on whether the client has a severe…
Which diagnoses and arguments regarding severe mental disorder do forensic psychiatric experts in Sweden consider in different cases? A qualitative vignette study
Possibly mad? Marital murder in the early twentieth century
This study illustrates the impact on forensic psychiatric investigations (FPI) of time-specific scientific theories and moral normative considerations. A comparative historical perspective illustrates historical FPI procedures (i.e. methodology and focus), based on two matched FPI case reports from the 1930s: a man and a woman who had shot their respective spouses. First, in the analysis, a comparison was made between the two cases regarding asse…
Autism Spectrum Disorders in forensic psychiatric investigations–patterns of comorbidity and criminality
Our results highlight the importance of all parts of the CJS to be prepared to handle offenders with ASD, often with high levels of additional psychiatric problems. Traditional approaches in treatment or other psychosocial interventions for ASD may need to be adapted to at least three general clinical profiles- one with mainly neurodevelopmental problems, one with a spectrum of externalizing problems and one with complex personality related diffi…
Lethal and severe violence
Female offenders of lethal and severe violence had a high prevalence of previous violent victimization which should be considered in forensic assessment and treatment regardless of the offender's SMD status. However, more focus on substance use disorders and intimate partner relations appears relevant for females without an SMD. Contrary to that, early interventions regarding psychotic processes are probably a helpful preventive measure for femal…
Emotion dysregulation – A bridge between ACE and aggressive antisocial behavior
Forensic populations have high prevalence rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACE), but specific pathways from childhood victimization to adult victimizing behavior remain unclear. Difficulties in emotion regulation may prove to be a more proximal risk factor that functions as a pathway between ACE and aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB). In this study, we investigated concurrent associations between ACE, AAB, and difficulties in emotion reg…
The decision-making process in Swedish forensic psychiatric investigations
Forensic psychiatric investigations in Sweden can have a major impact on the choice of sentence in criminal cases. Previous research shows that the decisions in several forensic fields, including forensic psychiatry, can be affected in a negative way by factors not relevant to the case. In the present study, the decision-making process of forensic psychiatric investigations was explored by using semi-structured interviews with experts (n = 38) an…
Decision-Making Within Forensic Psychiatric Investigations
The professional groups relied partly on a "core" of information sources, but some case-specific adaptations were found. The professional groups' inclination to suspect SMD also varied somewhat. This indicates a need to explore the potential consequences of these similarities and differences
