摘要本文介绍了一项在兰普顿医院进行的研究，一个最高安全设施的精神障碍的罪犯，检查样本中的男性和女性患者的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的患病率在法律的类别的精神病性障碍。高患病率的当前和终身PTSD诊断中发现，在这两个群体中，并在相当数量的情况下，创伤与PTSD症状是犯罪，导致个人的入院。有证据表明，犯罪相关和非犯罪相关的PTSD的症状模式可能是创伤特异性的。尽管涉及的样本量小，它的结论是，有足够的证据表明，需要在这一人群中进行更大规模的调查创伤后应激障碍。
Abstract This paper describes a study conducted at Rampton Hospital, a maximum security facility for mentally disordered offenders, to examine the prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in samples of male and female patients in the legal category of psychopathic disorder. High prevalence rates of both current and lifetime PTSD diagnoses were found in both groups and in a significant number of cases the trauma associated with the PTSD symptoms was the offence that led to the individual's admission. There is evidence to suggest that the pattern of symptoms presented in offence-related and non-offence related PTSD may be trauma specific. Despite the small sample sizes involved, it is concluded that there is sufficient evidence to suggest the need for a larger scale investigation of PTSD in this population.
