N2  - This study describes associations between mental disorders and charges of violence among remanded adolescents. 100 15-17 year old boys from East Denmark, consecutively remanded during one year, were interviewed with SCAN, K-SADS and SCID-II to obtain past year ICD-10 diagnoses. There was no statistically significant association between the occurrence of a violent charge and mental disorders in general (OR=1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI)[0.24; 4.38]). An association was found between violent charge and non-Danish ethnicity (OR=7.58, [1.60; 35.92]). Previously reported association between violence and mental disorder among adults were not replicated in this male adolescent remand population. A developmental hypothesis is proposed.
