ABSTRACT
Stueve and Link (1997), Swanson et al. (1990), Tiihonen et al. (1997) and Wallace et al. (2004). • Late 2000s – uncertainty over the generality of this consensus, with increasing emphasis on the
importance of other risk factors among the mentally disordered: – In particular suggesting that schizophrenia may confer no increased risk in the absence of co-
morbid substance use. – See Elbogen and Johnson (2009) and Fazel et al. (2009a,b). – This has led to further thought about the heterogeneity of the relationships between severe
mental illness and violence, different subgroupings of violent mentally ill patients, and mechanisms by which mental illness might be associated with violence.
