研究表明，考虑严重精神疾病患者的犯罪需求是很重要的。本研究旨在确定社区临床样本中犯罪思维的严重程度，了解犯罪思维与精神病学和刑事司法结果之间的关联，并比较参加断言社区治疗(ACT)和法医断言社区治疗(FACT)计划的消费者之间的这些关联。参与者(N=234)是参加ACT和FACT计划的五个州的男性和女性消费者。结果显示，当比较参与者的项目类型或参与刑事司法的历史时，犯罪思维没有显著差异。一般犯罪思维和精神症状学与终生被捕人数之间存在显著的正相关关系，康复态度和一般犯罪思维之间存在负相关关系，ACT参与者报告的终生精神住院次数高于事实参与者。结果的含义讨论了具体参考治疗规划。
Research suggests it is important to consider criminogenic needs among individuals with severe mental illness. This study aimed to determine the severity of criminal thinking in community-based clinical samples, understand the association between criminal thinking and psychiatric and criminal justice outcomes, and compare these associations between consumers enrolled in Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) programs. Participants (N = 234) were male and female consumers enrolled in ACT and FACT programs in five states. Results revealed no significant differences in criminal thinking when comparing participants by program type or history of criminal justice involvement. There were significant positive relations between general criminal thinking and psychiatric symptomatology and the number of lifetime arrests, a negative association between recovery attitudes and general criminal thinking, and ACT participants reported a greater number of lifetime psychiatric hospitalizations than FACT participants. Result implications are discussed with specific reference to treatment programming.
