Fallout of psychiatric disorders
Ex-prisoners with common psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder and alcohol and drug abuse are substantially more likely to commit a violent crime after release than other prisoners, new research published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal said. The study of almost 48000 ex-prisoners suggests that diagnosed psychiatric disorders are potentially responsible for up to a fifth of violent reoffending by former male prisoners and two-fifths by female ex-prisoners.
