The Relationship Between Mental Illnesses and Aggressive Behavior

Abstract

As criminal behaviors and crime rates continue to rise, the sphere of influence wielded by criminals also expands. This surge in criminal activity not only inflicts enduring harm upon the victims and the families of offenders but also triggers a pervasive questioning of public security regulations within society. Consequently, the imperative study of the underlying factors contributing to criminal behavior has become both crucial and indispensable. Taking a broad perspective, it is evident that individuals, families, and society as a whole play significant roles in shaping the root causes of criminality. In this study, special attention is drawn to the profound impact of mental illness on criminal behavior. This study aims to synthesize existing research, focusing on the influence of three relatively common mental illnesses—schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder—on criminal behaviors. In this study, we will try to decelop in-depth knowledge of intricate between mental illness and criminality. Through this study, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between mental health and criminality.
