N2  - Mentally abnormal offenders admitted to the Forensic Unit of Yangon Psychiatric Hospital from 1953 to 1992 were studied (n=332). They are described with respect to their demographic, clinical and forensic profile. A predominance of schizophrenia and a strong association of this diagnosis with homicide, asault and arson were noted. The low prevalence of the female and personality-disordered offenders are attributed to cultural and diagnotic factors. The majority of victims were family members and relatives. Family education and early intervention concerning violent bahaviour in psychiatric patients are discussed.  http://imsear.hellis.org/handle/123456789/126340<p />
