Most (82.5%) had a psychotic disorder at the time of the offense. Contrasted with declining hospitalisation, incarceration, and population homicide rates, the rate of MAH remained constant at an average of .07 perpetrators per 100,000 population. The rate of MAH was not associated with discharges from or average length of stay in psychiatric hospitals (\u03c1 = 0.10; 0.34, P &gt; 0.10), incarceration rates (\u03c1 = 0.16, P = 0.42), or the total homicide rate (\u03c1 = 0.25, P = 0.22). The proportion of MAH perpetrators with a substance use disorder increased modestly over time (\u03b2 = 0.35, R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 0.12, P = 0.08).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The rate of MAH has not changed appreciably over the past 25 years. Declining psychiatric service utilisation was not associated with the rate of homicide committed by people with mental illness and, secondarily, was not linked to increases in the population homicide or incarceration rates.
