Of the cohort, 116 656 had been arrested and 40 478 were on the psychiatric case register.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291712002887_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The period prevalence of arrest for people with any psychiatric illness was 32.1%. The highest arrest prevalence, by diagnostic category, was for substance use disorders (59.4%); the prevalence for schizophrenia was 38.7%. Co-morbid substance use disorders significantly increased risk of arrest in people with schizophrenia. The prevalence of mental illness among offenders was 11.1%: 6.5% of offenders had substance use disorders and 1.7% had schizophrenia. For the majority of offenders with a psychiatric illness, first arrest preceded first contact with mental health services; for schizophrenia only, this proportion was increasing over time. The mean percentage annual change in the number of arrests during 1985\u20131996 rose significantly for offenders with a psychiatric illness other than schizophrenia and dropped significantly for those with no mental illness. Compared to non-psychiatric offenders, offenders with schizophrenia were more likely to offend alone, to offend in open places and to target strangers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291712002887_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings open the way to an informed approach to the management of offenders with mental illness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291712002887","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,13]],"date-time":"2012-12-13T09:27:11Z","timestamp":1355390831000},"page":"1869-1880","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["A whole-of-population study of the prevalence and patterns of criminal offending in people with schizophrenia and other mental illness"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"V.
