Strong evidence points to a link between poor impulse control (impulsivity) and violent crime. Impulsivity has been shown to be associated with reduced levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. In studies of impulsive individuals, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have reduced impulsive aggression but there has been no systematic study of the benefits of SSRIs for violent offenders at risk of reoffending. This research will investigate whether SSRIs can reduce repeat violent offending.

强有力的证据表明，不良的冲动控制（冲动）和暴力犯罪之间存在联系。冲动已被证明与神经递质血清素水平的降低有关。在对冲动个体的研究中，选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂（SSRIs）减少了冲动性攻击，但没有系统的研究SSRIs对有再次犯罪风险的暴力罪犯的好处。这项研究将调查SSRIs是否可以减少重复暴力犯罪。
