Resumo: | Introduction: The association between criminality and psychiatric disorders has been extensively studied. The most recent studies show that this appears to exist only in acute stages of the disorder. Adverse childhood events are also a risk factor in violent and antisocial behaviors. Methods/Objectives: A retrospective exploratory study was designed, including 91 men and 19 women admitted in the Forensic Ward of Coimbra Hospital and University Center between January 2018 and august 2021 to evaluate the association between psychiatric diagnosis and crime committed. Gender differences and adverse childhood events were also evaluated. Results: Although psychotic disorders were the most common in both groups, mood disorders were significantly more common in women. 39 patients had comorbidity with substance abuse which was associated with a greater prevalence of criminal history and childhood adverse events, but also with a lesser prevalence of violent crimes and homicide. The victims of the crimes committed were mainly from the patient’s nuclear family, with a low prevalence of crimes committed against strangers. The sample patients also reported more adverse childhood events than the general population. Discussion: There were no significant differences in the type of crime considering the psychiatric diagnosis, but comorbidity with substance abuse was associated with greater criminality, but with less violent crimes. There was a greater prevalence of crimes committed against the nuclear family, and particularly against offspring in women. |

Los estudios más recientes muestran que esto parece existir solo en las etapas agudas del trastorno. Los eventos adversos en la infancia también son un factor de riesgo en las conductas violentas y antisociales. Métodos/Objetivos: Se diseñó un estudio exploratorio retrospectivo, que incluyó a 91 hombres y 19 mujeres ingresados en la Sala Forense del Hospital y Centro Universitario de Coimbra entre enero de 2018 y agosto de 2021 para evaluar la asociación entre el diagnóstico psiquiátrico y el delito cometido. También se evaluaron las diferencias de género y los eventos adversos en la infancia. Resultados: Aunque los trastornos psicóticos fueron los más comunes en ambos grupos, los trastornos del estado de ánimo fueron significativamente más comunes en las mujeres. 39 pacientes tenían comorbilidad con abuso de sustancias, lo que se asoció con una mayor prevalencia de antecedentes penales y eventos adversos en la infancia, pero también con una menor prevalencia de delitos violentos y homicidio. Las víctimas de los delitos cometidos fueron mayoritariamente del núcleo familiar del paciente, con una baja prevalencia de delitos cometidos contra extraños. Los pacientes de la muestra también informaron más eventos adversos en la infancia que la población general. Discusión: No hubo diferencias significativas en el tipo de delito considerando el diagnóstico psiquiátrico, pero la comorbilidad con el abuso de sustancias se asoció con mayor criminalidad, pero con menos delitos violentos. Hubo una mayor prevalencia de delitos cometidos contra el núcleo familiar, y particularmente contra la descendencia en las mujeres.Introdução: A associação entre criminalidade e transtornos psiquiátricos tem sido amplamente estudada. Os estudos mais recentes mostram que esta associação parece existir apenas nas fases agudas da patologia. Os eventos adversos na infância são um fator de risco para comportamentos violentos e antissociais. Métodos/Objetivos: Foi desenhado um estudo exploratório retrospetivo, incluindo 91 homens e 19 mulheres internados na Enfermaria de Psiquiatria Forense do Hospital e Centro Universitário de Coimbra entre janeiro de 2018 e agosto de 2021 para avaliar a associação entre diagnóstico psiquiátrico e crime cometido. Diferenças de género e eventos adversos na infância também foram avaliados. Resultados: Embora as perturbações psicóticas tenham sido os mais comuns em ambos os grupos, as perturbações do humor foram significativamente mais comuns nas mulheres. 39 pacientes tinham comorbidade com abuso de substâncias, associada a maior prevalência de antecedentes criminais e eventos adversos na infância, mas também a uma menor prevalência de crimes violentos e homicídio. As vítimas dos crimes cometidos eram principalmente do núcleo familiar do doente, com baixa prevalência de crimes cometidos contra estranhos. Os pacientes da amostra também relataram mais eventos adversos na infância do que a população geral. Discussão: Não houve diferenças significativas no tipo de crime considerando o diagnóstico psiquiátrico, mas a comorbilidade com abuso de substâncias associou-se a maior criminalidade, mas a crimes menos violentos. Houve maior prevalência de crimes cometidos contra o núcleo familiar e, principalmente, contra os filhos em mulheres.Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria2022-12-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedRevisado por ParesAvaliado Pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/40510.25118/2763-9037.2022.v12.405Debates in Psychiatry; Vol. 12 (2022); 1-26Debates em Psiquiatria; Vol. 12 (2022); 1-26Debates em Psiquiatria; v. 12 (2022); 1-262763-90372236-918Xreponame:Debates em Psiquiatria (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)instacron:ABPenghttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/405/370Copyright (c) 2022 Mariana de Jesus, Vera Martins, Isabela Faria, Manuel Quartilhohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJesus, Mariana deMartins, VeraFaria, IsabelaQuartilho, Manuel João2024-01-04T23:42:10Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/405Revistahttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oaiPUBhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oairdp@abp.org.br2763-90372236-918Xopendoar:2024-01-04T23:42:10Debates em Psiquiatria (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)false |
