Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that people with mental illness are no more violent than the general population, and that substance abuse is a bigger factor in violence. Additionally, research has found that people who are actively experiencing psychosis are not necessarily violent, and that former mental patients are not more likely to be violent. Therefore, option A is false. Option B is also incorrect because while severe mental illness can be associated with violence, people who are actively psychotic may be too disorganized or overwhelmed to be violent. Option C is the most accurate because evidence suggests that poverty, youth, and alcohol/drug use are stronger predictors of violence than mental illness alone.
