To help understand their general profiles and consider any implications arising, the aim of this research was to describe the forensic psychiatric characteristics of people charged with rape. Methods: All evaluations of people charged with rape and sent for evaluation at the largest assessment centre in Croatia during the period 2010\u20132018 were analysed ( n\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200956). Results: Alleged offences most often took place in a perpetrator or victim's home (71%), while the next most frequent location was the street (15%). Over 80% of alleged victims were known to the accused. Alcohol use and abuse were present in 73% of the accused, and 29% were drinking at the time of the alleged offence. Alcohol-related disorders were presented in 38% of the accused, while 38% had a personal history of drug use, and antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders were present in 48% and 29%, respectively. Psychotic disorders were rare (1.8%). Most of the accused were found to be criminally responsible; however, forensic psychiatric assessment procedures were inadequate when considering psychosexual assessments. Conclusions: Interventions based around public health and education should be considered in this field, and forensic psychiatric assessments should be prioritized for improvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00258024211049849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,19]],"date-time":"2021-10-19T02:04:46Z","timestamp":1634609086000},"page":"97-104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Forensic psychiatric evaluations of people charged with rape in Croatia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2770-0942","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Goran","family":"Arbanas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Psychiatry, University Psychiatric Hospital Vrap\u010de, Croatia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Marinovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nadica","family":"Buzina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Psychiatry, University Psychiatric Hospital Vrap\u010de, Croatia"},{"name":"University Department of Croatian Studies, University of Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00258024211049849","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/mcp.2009.0583"},{"key":"bibr2-00258024211049849","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jflm.2015.01.003"},{"key":"bibr3-00258024211049849","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1556-4029.13707"},{"key":"bibr4-00258024211049849","first-page":"201","volume":"11","author":"Goreta M","year":"2004","journal-title":"Hrvat ljetop kazn pravo praksu"},{"key":"bibr5-00258024211049849","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13607863.2016.1202892"},{"key":"bibr6-00258024211049849","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838015576391"},{"key":"bibr7-00258024211049849","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)62300-4"},{"key":"bibr8-00258024211049849","first-page":"1","volume":"63","author":"Breiding MJ","year":"2014","journal-title":"MMWR Surveill Summ"},{"key":"bibr9-00258024211049849","first-page":"130","volume":"28","author":"Vuleti\u0107 I","year":"2019","journal-title":".
