A quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the impact of referral to supplemental mental health treatment for
batterer program participants who screened positive for mental health problems. The principal outcome measure was re-assault
reported during a periodic 12-month follow-up with female partners (n = 308). Batterer program completion and other abuse indicators were also considered. Mandatory court referral to mental health
treatment produced no significant improvement in batterer program completion, re-assault and other abuse indicators. These
results may be influenced by the low compliance to the referral, since the select number of men who did comply with a mental
health evaluation (n = 48 of 148) and those who received treatment (n = 28 of 148) did better than those who did not. Simplified referral procedures or integrated treatment services might prove
to be a more effective approach.

Researchers have not investigated mental health outcomes among couples who are reciprocally violent towards each other. The
present study investigated differences in partner violence (psychological, physical, and sexual) and mental health symptoms
(depression, anxiety, hostility, and somatic) between two types of reciprocally violent couples: situational couple violence
(SCV) and mutual control violence (MVC). SCV couples use violence to address stressful family conflicts, while MVC couples
use violence as a tool to control each other. Participants (N = 609) completed surveys that contained several instruments that measured past violence, coercive behaviors, physical injuries,
and mental health symptoms. Results revealed that MVC reported significantly higher levels of violent perpetration and worse
physical and mental health than SCV. These findings have implications for understanding the role of coercion in partner violence
and mental health, which can be used for the development of appropriate mental health services for couples who are mutually
violent towards each other. 相似文献

This article presents data on the development of a child maltreatment actuarial risk inventory, The Cleveland Child Abuse
Potential Scale (C-CAPS). The study consisted of three groups in a juvenile court setting: child custody cases without indication
of maltreatment (N = 34), cases where maltreatment was indicated (N = 37), and a third middle ground group of cases referred to the court’s Diagnostic Clinic (N = 47). This third group of cases had not elevated to court involvement with a filing of child maltreatment. Study results
provide compelling support for overall classification accuracy, with 100% specificity and 95% sensitivity and an overall hit
rate of 98%, when only the maltreatment and non-maltreatment groups were compared. Adding the third group of possible maltreatment
cases dropped the overall hit rate to 71%. The instrument was able to correctly classify 85% of Non-Maltreatment cases and
76% of Maltreatment cases. The overall factor structure of the instrument is also reviewed. 相似文献

This work examines the moderator effect of sex and age on the relationship between different types of exposure to intimate
partner violence (IPV) and child psychopathology and functional impairment. One hundred and sixty-six Spanish children aged
4 –17 years exposed to intimate partner violence were assessed using a diagnostic interview and other instruments for the
measurement of psychopathology and functional impairment. Participants were classified in three groups according to the degree
of exposure: witness (N = 77), involved (N = 63) and victim (N = 26). According to mothers’ self-reports and mother-child combined information, boy victims of IPV showed more mood disorders
than involved or witness boys. There were no other moderator effects of either sex or age. The effect of exposure to intimate
partner violence among children was not dependent, in general, on the child’s sex or age, and this has important implications
for the assessment, treatment, and prevention of children’s exposure to IPV. 相似文献

The first MHC was established in 1997 and now, over 15 years later, there are over 300 mental health courts in the United States. In a relatively short time these courts have become an established criminal justice intervention for persons with a mental illness. However, few studies have looked at the long-term outcomes of MHCs on criminal recidivism. Of the studies evaluating the impact of MHCs on criminal recidivism, most follow defendants after entry into the court during their participation, and only a few have followed defendants after court exit for periods of one or two years. This study follows MHC defendants for a minimum of five years to examine recidivism post-exit with particular attention to MHC completion's effect. Findings show that 53.9% of all MHC defendants were rearrested in the follow-up and averaged 15 months to rearrest. Defendants who completed MHC were significantly less likely to be rearrested (39.6% vs. 74.8%), and went longer before recidivating (17.15 months vs. 12.27 months) than those who did not complete. This study suggests that MHCs can reduce criminal recidivism among offenders with mental illness and that this effect is sustained for several years after defendants are no longer under the court's supervision. 相似文献

This representative national survey examined incidence of husband-to-wife violence in the past year, lifetime exposure to
parental violence, and the relationships between victimization experiences of family violence and mental health among South
Korean women (N = 1,079). The major findings were that incidence rate of husband-to-wife violence among Korean women was 29.5%, which was
much higher than those of other nations, and that their experiences of physical violence by husbands in the last year and
lifetime verbal abuse by parents had strong associations with the mental health of victims. The findings suggest that preventive
intervention programs for male perpetrators as well as domestic violence victims with mental health problems and comprehensive
interventions for Korean couples are urgently needed. In addition, parents should be educated about how to modify their children’s
behavior without physical punishment or verbal abuse.

Little research has investigated the prevalence of mood disturbance among sex offenders despite the fact that psychological
distress may bear some relationship to community reintegration, and ultimately, recidivism. All offenders on New Jersey’s
sex offender Internet registry were mailed surveys about their experiences with, and perceptions of, notification and residence
restriction statutes, the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). On average, respondents
(N = 104) reported mild to moderate levels of depressive symptoms (M
BDI = 17.1) and hopelessness (M
BHS = 6.9). Additionally, offenders who reported being negatively affected by residence restrictions and notification statutes
reported higher levels of both depression and hopelessness. Given evidence that sex offender specific legislation may de-stabilize
offenders, this research highlights the importance of managing affective states in this population. 相似文献

To assess the effectiveness of an alcohol brief intervention administered to violent offenders in a judicial (Magistrates’
court) setting, a randomised controlled trial was conducted. Participants (n = 269) were men aged 16–35 years, who resided within a 30-mile radius of Cardiff, UK, and who had been sentenced for a violent
offence committed whilst intoxicated with alcohol. Recruitment occurred on-site. Participants were randomly allocated to receive
an alcohol brief intervention (n = 135) or to a control group (n = 134). Objective measures comprised re-offending and injury rates. Self-reported outcome measures comprised Alcohol Use
Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT); number of drinking days in the past 3 months; total weekly standard units of alcohol;
and stage of change with respect to alcohol consumption (as measured by the Readiness to Change Questionnaire). Participants
were followed up 3 months (n = 234; 87%) and 12 months (n = 202; 75.1%) after sentence. No significant between-group differences were observed in any of the alcohol measures or in
re-offending. Injury was significantly less likely in offenders who had received the intervention (27.4%) than those who had
not [39.6%; 95% confidence interval (CI) = −0.23, −0.009]. At 3-month follow-up, significantly more participants in the intervention
group (31%; n = 37) than control group (16%; n = 18) demonstrated an increase in their readiness to change drinking behaviour (χ2 = 8.56; df = 2; P = 0.014), but this did not persist at 12-month follow-up.

This study compared the clinical and adaptive features of juvenile offenders (N = 223) who were violent towards their parents (CPV) with those who had no history of violence against their parents (NCPV).
These two groups were also examined on demographic data, arrest findings, mental health issues, relationship findings, intellectual
abilities, and school performance. Youths in the CPV group were more likely to (a) associate with peers who own guns, (b)
affiliate with gang members, (c) belong to a gang, (d) have been psychiatrically hospitalized and medicated, (e) have attempted
suicide, (f) come from a non-intact home, and (g) have trouble relating to their parents and other household members. The
CPV group also committed a greater number of nondomestic violent offenses, while those in the NCPV group committed a greater
number of property offenses. Analyses revealed no significant group differences on the Emotional Symptom Index and Personal
Adjustment Composite of the Behavior Assessment System for Children; however, interaction effects were detected by gender
and race. 相似文献

Although research has demonstrated connections between experiencing abuse as a child and being in a violent relationship as
an adult, the specific mechanisms through which this transmission occurs are unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify
the relationship between certain personal factors (self-appraisals and mental/substance use disorders) and experiencing violence
as an adult. Data from the National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) 1990–1992 were utilized. Respondents who reported experiencing
childhood abuse or victimization and were in a current intimate partnership (N = 590) were selected for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that low self-esteem, past year PTSD, and past
year alcohol dependence were significantly associated with intimate partner violence after controlling for other self-appraisals
and mental disorders. 相似文献

The Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2) are widely used to measure intimate partner aggression. Various aspects of the
CTS2 and its subscales have been examined, e.g. factor structure, internal consistency, and validity, but little or no evidence
exists regarding the stability of the self-report of aggression on the CTS2 This study examines the stability of reports of
aggression against a partner on the CTS2 among 82 men court-mandated to a batterer intervention program. At both testing times
men reported on aggression occurring in the year prior to beginning treatment. Using variety scores, stability of report was
strong for psychological aggression (r = 0.69), physical assault (r = 0.76), injury (r = 0.70), and negotiation (r = 0.60), but weaker for sexual coercion (r = 0.30). Implications for the use of the CTS2 in court-mandated populations are discussed.

Young children (4- to 7-years old; N = 59) and adults (N = 53) were shown a series of targets that were either familiar (i.e., popular cartoon characters) or unfamiliar (unknown
human faces) to assess whether children’s false positive responding with target-absent lineups is driven by social factors
to a greater degree than cognitive factors. Although children were able to produce correct identification rates with virtually
100% accuracy for the cartoon characters, they produced a significantly lower correct rejection rate compared to adults. Children
also produced a significantly lower correct rejection rate for the human faces compared to adults. These data are discussed
for understanding children’s identification evidence. 相似文献

The relationship between a history of physical or sexual abuse and current suicidal ideation was examined in the current study
based on data from the Washington state 2002 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Out of the total sample of
4081, 1058 indicated they had experienced either physical or sexual abuse before the age of 18, 52 indicated they had experienced
physical abuse in the past 12 months, and 210 indicated they had been forced to have sex since the age of 18. Additionally,
106 indicated they had seriously considered committing suicide in the past year. After controlling for such factors as age,
gender, income, education, race, employment and marital status and the interactions between different abuse risk factors using
multivariate logistic regression, results showed that a history of childhood physical (OR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.364, 3.90) or sexual (OR = 2.72, 95% CI = 1.58, 4.67) abuse and adult physical (OR = 27.30, 95% CI = 11.64, 64.01) or sexual (OR = 5.87, 95% CI = 3.24, 10.63) abuse all were related to current suicidal ideation. Implications for future research are discussed. 相似文献

The current study examined the efficacy of a specialized mental health court in reducing recidivism for severely mentally ill defendants with comorbid substance use disorders. There is a wealth of research supporting the efficacy of mental health courts in reducing recidivism for those with severe mental illness; however, the benefit of these courts for individuals with severe mental illness and comorbid substance use disorders has received limited empirical attention. Participants were 514 defendants enrolled in either a traditional adversarial court or a specialized mental health court. Recidivism was assessed across different outcome variables, including frequency of reoffending, severity of new offenses, and length of time to reoffend. When compared to participants in the traditional adversarial court, enrollment in mental health court was associated with a greater length of time to rearrest and fewer participants were rearrested in the mental health court than the traditional court. Group differences between those with and without comorbid substance use disorders who were enrolled in the mental health court were not found across recidivism outcome metrics. Results of the current study are particularly promising given that defendants with substance use disorders are at a greater risk for reoffending. 相似文献

Prior research has provided substantial evidence that child maltreatment and exposure to physical intimate partner violence
(IPV) are associated with increased externalizing behavior problems among children and adolescents. However, little is known
about the effects of exposure to psychological IPV and exposure to the physical abuse of a sibling. Using a total sample (N = 2,572) and subsample (n = 441) of children ages 3–18 years old, the purpose of this study was to assess whether cumulative types of family violence
lead to higher mean externalizing behavior scores and to examine the effects of single types of indirect and direct family
violence on children’s mean externalizing behavior scores. Results confirmed that children who experienced any type of family
violence victimization had higher mean externalizing behavior scores compared to children with no history of family violence;
however, few differences in externalizing behavior scores were found as the number of family violence types increased. Children
who experienced indirect types of family violence (e.g., exposure to the physical abuse of a sibling) had higher externalizing
behavior scores than children who experienced direct maltreatment (e.g., child physical abuse). Findings from this study suggest
that researchers and service providers should adopt a broader conceptualization of family violence victimization and increase
the amount of services provided to children who are indirectly victimized. 相似文献

This study examined whether female-to-male (FTM) psychological aggression predicted men’s relapse of substance use disorder
(SUD) 6 months following substance use treatment. Men diagnosed with either a substance abuse or dependence disorder who had
recently begun an SUD treatment program participated in the study with their female relationship partners (N = 173). Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between baseline FTM psychological aggression and SUD relapse
when controlling for baseline demographic, dyadic, substance abuse- and treatment-related variables, as well as frequencies
of other male- and female-perpetrated aggressive dyadic behaviors. Higher frequencies of severe, but not minor, forms of FTM
psychological aggression uniquely predicted an increased risk of relapse at 6 months follow-up. These data add to the developing
research program highlighting the negative sequelae of female-perpetrated psychological aggression and also provide an empirical
basis for targeting specific dyadic behaviors in the context of SUD treatment and relapse prevention. 相似文献

We studied (May–September 2014) all arrestees who reported mental health issues during the medical examination performed by a forensic physician for the assessment of fitness for detention. Among 4814 arrestees, 420 (9%) reported a current mental health issue. The suspected crimes among arrestees reporting a current mental health issue were more often related to violent behaviors (physical assault, 23% vs. 16%, p < 0.001, sexual assault, 3% vs. 1%, p = 0.01) and less often drug offenses (18% vs. 29%, p < 0.001). Among arrestees reporting mental health issues, 80% reported psychiatric or psychological care, of whom 33% reported previous mental health care. Decisions of unfitness for detention were more frequent among arrestees reporting mental health issues than in other detainees (3% vs. 1%, p < 0.001). The high proportion of patients with interrupted mental health care among those reporting mental disorders suggests that the medical examination during custody could be a significant opportunity to restore psychiatric care. 相似文献

This study examined self-reported early exposure to violence in the family of origin and positive attitudes towards marital
violence as risk factors in court-referred Chinese immigrant male batterers (N = 64) versus controls (N = 62). Early exposure to violence was positively correlated with marital violence, but it alone did not differentiate the
batterers from the controls, as both groups were widely exposed to it. While it was significantly correlated with marital
violence in the batterer group, it was significantly correlated with depression in the control group. Positive attitudes towards
marital violence were not only correlated with marital violence but also sufficient to differentiate the batterers from the
controls. It also partially mediated the effect of early exposure to violence on marital violence. These two risk factors
together accounted for 21.9% of the variance in marital violence over and above sociodemographic variables and marital dissatisfaction.
Research and treatment implications based on these findings were outlined.

Forensic mental health evaluation systems have undergone major changes during the past two decades, and the variability of service delivery systems across states is significant. We compared assessments of competence to stand trial and criminal responsibility in three states with different systems for forensic mental health evaluations: Michigan, Ohio, and Virginia. Although all three states use comparable legal criteria to judge competence and criminal responsibility, we found large, statistically significant differences among the states in the proportion of defendants referred for evaluation who were assessed as incompetent or not criminally responsible. In addition, significant differences were found in the diagnostic and offense categories of defendants referred for evaluation. Our findings suggest that the structure of a system for providing forensic evaluation services may significantly affect both the group of individuals referred for evaluation as well as evaluation outcome. 相似文献
