Article Synopsis
- This study fills a gap in forensic psychiatry by examining homicidal behavior among offenders with cluster C personality disorders, which include avoidant, dependent, and obsessional personality disorders.
- Findings show that these offenders generally have shorter criminal histories and similar offender-victim relationships compared to those with other personality disorders, but are more likely to confess and express remorse after the act.
- The research suggests that while cluster C disorders are infrequent in homicide cases, the unique backgrounds and behaviors of these offenders indicate they may require different support and interventions.
