A case study of forensic psychiatry experts' reports analysis through large language models

This scoping review, guided by the Arksey and O'Malley framework, aims to identify and analyze cognitive biases within forensic psychiatric practice across criminal, civil, and testimonial domains. A comprehensive search across five databases yielded 7002 records, with 24 studies…
Homicides by offenders with psychotic illness in Italy and Turkiye: A comparison of offender and crime-scene profiles
Despite certain similarities, the differences between the two samples highlight the impact of sociocultural, healthcare, and legal systems on offender profiles and crime-scene characteristics. These findings emphasize the need for tailored mental health services, forensic psychiatric assessments and legal supervision that take into account country-specific factors
Between psychopathy and deviant socialization: A close look at the mafia men
Crimes without a body: Reflections on a case series of online crimes
There is a large volume of online crimes. The aim of this work is to reflect on virtual crimes that are apparently different but actually have commonalities. In these cases, the corporeal sphere that mediates interpersonal relationships is absent, and perceptions of the real world and emotional regulation may be altered, which poses the risk of destructive behaviours. From this standpoint, self/hetero-directed aggression is the result of a certai…

DSM-5 personality trait facets amongst child molesters: An exploratory comparison with other types of offenders

Community mental health services and responsibility of psychiatrists in Italy: Lessons for the globe
Basaglia’s reforms of Italian psychiatry led to the development of Community Mental Health Services which replaced the asylums with a remarkable change of perspective. The main aim was to treat patients in the community and no longer in the hospitals. The Italian model and its development influenced similar reforms in some other countries over the years. Also, we believe that it had a major impact on the legal responsibility of psychiatrists in I…
