What is it about?
Schizophrenia and violent behavior can be associated. To better predict, manage or prevent future violence of patients who are diagnosed for the first time with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder there are certain risk factors to observe for the clinician. There are different risk factors depending on the presence of violent behavior of the patient before the diagnosis.

Why is it important?
To avoid future violence and victimization of patients and third parties. The results hopefully improve prevention strategies and awareness of risk factors, violent behavior and victimization in schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Perspectives
The data set is particularly big and has the advantage of public health data linked with the Police data set. I enjoyed the writing up and Analysis with my co-authors.
