Abstract Tattoos of all kinds have been found to be associated with marginal groups, antisocial behaviours and mental health problems. Little is known, however, about the subgroup with prominent tattoos on areas of the body, such as the face, which are clearly visible to others. This paper investigates associations between visible tattoos and mental disorder, substance misuse and criminality in a large group of adult male prisoners. Childhood adversity, drug and alcohol misuse, self-harm, violent behaviour and previous imprisonment were all found to be significantly associated with the presence of visible tattoos in this population. Whilst prior contact with psychiatric services was also significantly more common, no relationship existed between visible tattoos and lifetime DSM-IV mental disorder per se. Personality disorder was not found to be more prevalent in the visibly tattooed group, but a statistically significant relationship was demonstrated between visible tattoos and schizophrenia or related ps...

This paper reviews the literature on the relationship between mental disorder and crime from 1997 and 1998. There is a brief examination of the importance of the topic and methodological challenges in researching the subject. Studies are divided between those that are designed to include a control, and which are therefore of greater use in establishing causality, and those that do not. The more specific that studies have been in comparing particular diagnosis and symptom clusters with specific criminal behaviour, the more useful they have been in establishing causality. An emerging theme is the importance of dual diagnosis, particularly substance misuse and psychosis, and violent crime.

Abstract There is no literature available on the styles of service provision for the supervision of high-risk mentally disordered offenders, in particular those subject to the provisions of s.41 of the Mental Health Act 1983. This article describes the historical background to the terms ‘integrated’ and ‘parallel’ care for mentally disordered offenders. It is argued that these terms no longer have any value. A four-level model of managing high-risk patients in the community is proposed, which relates to the assessment of clinical risks. Research into models of service provision is urgently required so that these patients can receive the best care possible, in the least restrictive manner, whilst the safety of the community is not compromised.

Abstract Common-sense notions of justice dictate that those who create the conditions of their own defence should be held more culpable. Anglo-American criminal law lends credence to such notions by denying justification or excuse to those whose incapacity such as automatism or intoxication has been self-induced. However, no such provision is made for the excusatory defence of insanity. There are a number of ways in which an insanity defendant may be the cause of his or her own incapacity, thus having a high degree of responsibility for his or her criminal responsibility or ‘meta-responsibility’. The defendant may have failed to seek psychiatric help when so advised, failed in medication-compliance, or taken proscribed drugs or medicines. This article argues that there is a hitherto unconsidered autonomous component to mental disorder in which the defendant may have acquiesced in the illness, failed to resist it, or actively propagated it, perhaps to afford sympathy and excuse. Clinical, philosophical, fo...
