      For example, homicide-suicide perpetrators are more likely to be older than homicide perpetrators (Saleva, Putkonen, Kiviruusu, & Lönnqvist, 2007). Previous studies suggest that the homicide-suicide and homicide groups are two different populations that should be examined separately (Rosenbaum, 1990; Malmquist, 1995). Beyond homicide-suicide, a small number of studies suggest a strong relationship between homicide and depression.

      Citation Excerpt :

      The symptom profile of mania, such as impulsivity, grandiosity, poor judgment, and psychosis, can contribute to or predispose patients to assaultive and threatening behavior and thereby increase the risk of criminal offending [8]. On the other hand, many researchers have indicated that the correlation between depression and violence is much more frequent than is commonly believed [9,10]. Moreover, Good [11] reported that depression itself has been linked with the violent and homicidal manifestations of manic-depressive illness, whereas petty stealing, swindling, trivial assault, fraud, and drunkenness are considered more frequent in the manic phase.
