我们检查了4年内患有严重精神疾病的罪犯中逮捕/再次逮捕的模式和相关性。县刑事司法记录以及健康和社会服务数据集被用来识别和描述佛罗里达皮内拉斯县7/03至6/04期间被监禁的囚犯。769名参与者（101%的被捕者）有严重的精神疾病参与者平均46次被捕（SD = 3.9，中位数= 4）和150.6天监禁（SD = 175 0，中位数= 90）从犯罪理论和文献的轨迹工作，我们使用潜在的阶级增长分析，以确定三个类别的罪犯与一致的逮捕人数超过4-一年的时间和几乎平行的逮捕轨迹，一个零星的逮捕类（n = 469）与最低逮捕，一个低逮捕慢性类（n = 3，090，约1次停搏/年），以及高停搏慢性类（n = 210，每年约4次逮捕）按年龄组对每个班级内的逮捕进行的分析表明，对于低和高逮捕慢性班级，逮捕率在整个成年生活中持续存在。名义逻辑回归，无家可归，同时发生的药物滥用诊断，较少的精神健康门诊服务接触和更多的精神健康急诊室/住院接触与在一个班级中更多的逮捕有关。在青少年后期牢固地建立起来，并随着时间的推移而持续下去。降低这一人群的逮捕率的成功策略必须满足这些罪犯在犯罪生涯早期的需要
We examined patterns and correlates of arrest/re-arrests among offenders with a serious mental illness over a 4-year period County criminal justice records and health and social service datasets were used to identify and describe inmates jailed in Pinellas County, Florida, between 7/03 and 6/04 A total of 3,769 participants (10 1% of arrestees) had a serious mental illness Participants averaged 4 6 arrests (SD = 3 9, median = 4) and 150 6 days in jail (SD = 175 0, median = 90) Working from the trajectories of offending theory and literature we used latent class growth analysis to identify three classes of offenders with consistent numbers of arrests over a 4-year period and nearly parallel arrest trajectories, a sporadic arrest class (n = 469) with minimal arrests, a low arrest chronic class (n = 3,090, about one arrest/year), and a high arrest chronic class (n = 210, about four arrests/year) Analysis of arrests by age group within each of the classes suggested that for the low and high arrest chronic classes arrest rates persist throughout adult life In multi-nomial logistic regression, homelessness, a co-occurring substance abuse diagnosis, fewer mental health outpatient service contacts and more mental health emergency room/inpatient contacts were associated with being in a class with more arrests Arrests among offenders with a serious mental illness appear to be unusually high, to be firmly established in late adolescence and to persist over time Successful strategies to reduce the arrest rates of this population must address the needs of these offenders early in their criminal careers
