Does Mental Illness Impact the Incidence of Crime and Victimisation among Young People?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
While the high prevalence of offending and victimisation among young people is well established, no study to date has compared official crime records of young people with mental illness with those without mental illness. This case linkage study sought to determine whether young people with a formal history of mental illness were more likely to have official histories of offending and victimisation than young people who had no recorded histories of mental illness. Results suggested that young people with a history of mental illness are particularly vulnerable to violence. While a weak association was established between violent offending and mental illness, a stronger relationship was found between victimisation and mental illness, especially violent victimisation. Consistent with literature regarding the victim-offender overlap, a history of offending placed young people at a substantially higher risk of victimisation. Implications of these results are discussed in the context of how public mental health services could better protect these vulnerable young people.
