Perpetration of gross human rights violations in South Africa: association with psychiatric disorders.

Article 2009 en

Abstract

1 min read

Socio-demographic profiles of perpetrators of HRV and DV in South Africa differ. While the causal relationship between perpetration and psychiatric disorders deserves further study, it is possible that some HRV and DV perpetrators were themselves once victims. The association between accidental perpetration and mood disorder also deserves further attention.
