Introduction

Sexual abuse is of great public and high degree of

public danger.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of

specific socio-demographic factors among sex crime offenders.

Material

The subjects of study are 66 individuals in total, testi-

fied by expert psychiatrist and subsequently charged by law as of

December 2010, up until today.

Methods

Patient record, providing information about different

socio-demographic factors. Retrospective research of the avail-

able medical documentation. A statistician conducts data research

analysis, using specialised software statistical packages for Stat-

graphics.

Results

The highest percentage of the participants are from the

age groups between 15–24 and 45–54 years old. Both age groups

consist of 18 people (27%). The two groups with the lowest per-

centage of sex offenders are the ones between 25–34 –6 (9%) and

above 64–6 (9%). The biggest share have secondary education–26

(40%), followed by those with elementary education–24 (36%). The

smallest percentage are those with higher education – 2 (3%). There

is no statistically significant correlation between the research sam-

ple and their residence–34 (51%) live in a city and 32 (49%) – In

a village. There is also not a significant difference in their ethnical

origins. The biggest percentage of sex offenders have been raised

by both parents – 54 (82%).

Conclusions

Sex offenders represent an exceptionally hetero-

geneous group, our study did not find significant correlation of

socio-demographic factors and the profile of the rapist.

Personality type of homicide

offenders based on psychiatrist expert

reviews

P. Szilágyi

Szent János Hospital Budapest, Psychiatric Department, Budapest,

Hungary

Despite the relatively prudent regulations and dissuasive pun-

ishments worldwide, the number of homicide offenses are not

decreasing. In my study those psychiatrist expert opinions were

reviewed, which were created in closed homicide cases in the

institute of forensic medicine of Debrecen over five years from

2007.

The subject of my study was that what kinds of personalities these

crime offenders have, and whether they were in a pathological

mental state while committing the crime. The majority of the

offenders were from the most active age group between 20 and 40,

for the victims, however, the opposite can be said, as the most com-

mon homicide acts were committed against the older age group,

because due to their age they are less able to defend themselves

than the truly active age group. Out of 25 committers, 9 had psy-

chiatric treatment in its antecedents – mostly suicidal intentions

or attempts, alcohol dependence or depressive episode. Among

the cases examined, antisocial personality disorder was only made

probable in 42% of the perpetrators; however, it was not qualified as

restrictive factor in neither case.43.5% of the offenders were under

the influence of alcohol at the time of committing the act, and 58.3%

had no criminal record before.

The public believes about the homicide offenders that only peo-

ple with abnormal mental condition can commit them – however,

based on the reviewed psychiatrist expert opinions, the limita-

tion of imputation ability can rarely be established professionally.

Milder or more severe limiting factor were established in only 12%

of the offenders.

Introduction

Epidemiological studies in the general population

confirm the indisputable link between criminological dangerous-

ness and mental disorders especially anti-social personality, which

increase clearly the prevalence of violent behavior.

Aim

To dress socio-demographic, clinical and medico-legal pro-

file of offenders, with anti-social personality, in forensic psychiatric

examination.

Methods

It was a retrospective study of a series of 195 patients

with antisocial personality (DSM-IV). They were examined, during

the period, from 2009 to 2013, on the occasion of a penal expertise

in the department of psychiatry C in the Hedi Chaker university

hospital, Sfax, Tunisia.

Results

The mean age of patients at the offense moment, was

29.58 years, with a sex ratio of 26.85. Among them, 66.2% were

single, 49.2% had a primary school level and 41% had no profes-

sion. Between the patients, 58.5% lived in urban area and 38.5% in a

high crime area. Addictive behaviors were reported in 80% of cases.

Self-injury behaviors were noted in 33.8% of offenders. Psychiatric

histories were reported in 66.2%, and 25.6% of patients have been

already hospitalized in psychiatry department. 64.1% had already

committed forensic acts, and 36% had been imprisoned at least

once. The current offensewas: homicide 16.9%; sexual offense 9.2%;

violence 18.5%; theft 30.2%. The offense was related to impulsivity

(40%) or utilitarian purpose (39%).

Conclusion

A young single man with no profession, a limited

educational attainment and a history of impulsive behaviors,

such is the profile most frequently encountered among offend-

ers with anti-social personality. Interventions for reducing forensic

behavior should focus on those social and clinical characteris-

tics.
