Multiple traumatic experiences, post ‐traumatic stress disorder and offending behaviour in female prisoners
Conclusions/implications for practiceWomen who have experienced multiple traumatic events may be more likely to commit serious offences, so it is very important to assess and meet their trauma‐related needs. While prisons should never be used as substitutes for healthcare facilities, when women or girls are sent to prison, the opportunity for constructive interventions must be seized.

Effect of a brief cognitive behavioural intervention on criminal thinking and prison misconduct in male inmates: Variable ‐oriented and person‐oriented analyses
ConclusionsThese findings must still be regarded as preliminary, but taken together with other work and with cognitive behavioural theory, they suggest that development of more prosocial thinking and abilities may have an early beneficial effect on institutional behaviour. Their measurement may offer a practical way in which men could be assessed for readiness to return to the community. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Structured risk assessment for reduction of multiple risk outcomes in a secure mental health setting: Use of the START
ConclusionsIn this small sample, START did not achieve its primary purpose of significant reduction in adverse behaviours. Although our sample size was informed by a power calculation, we may have over‐estimated the size of anticipated change. Further, the 3‐month comparison periods before and after the assessment follow‐up period were rather short. Accordingly, we recommend more research on the value of this tool in practice rather than discontinuing its use. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The role of self ‐serving cognitive distortions in reactive and proactive aggression
ConclusionTo our knowledge, this study is the first to show a relationship between changes in cognitive distortions and changes in aggression. Treatment of reactive aggression may benefit from focusing primarily on reducing cognitive distortions involving misattribution of blame to others. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Cognitive impairment, self ‐perceived health and quality of life of older prisoners
ConclusionsWe found evidence that about a fifth of male prisoners in France had executive function test scores suggestive of at least moderately severe dementia and many others some evidence of cognitive impairments. Prisoners suffering from cognitive impairment do not necessarily seek help, perhaps not even considering that their health or quality of life to be affected. Communication deficits may also prevent their participation in prison activities which could prevent, slow or halt cognitive decline. Consequently, it is important that systematic screening for cognitive disorders is offered to men over 50 in prison. Copy...

Managing uncertainty in the clinical prediction of risk of harm: Bringing a Bayesian approach to forensic mental health
ABSTRACT Predicting the likelihood of harm posed by mentally disordered offenders remains controversial. It is proposed that a Bayesian approach may help quantify the uncertainty surrounding such prediction. An example of this approach quantifying the risk of breast cancer in the event of a positive mammogram is provided. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Mental health and associated factors among young offenders in Chile: a cross ‐sectional study
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that greater efforts must be made to identify vulnerable young people much earlier. Few of these young offenders with mental health problems had been well adjusted in health, education or socially before this period of detention. © 2017 The Authors.

Adult criminality among former residential school adolescents
ConclusionsThe risk of committing crimes after a residential school placement is sufficiently elevated that alternative strategies, perhaps particularly longer‐term post‐release supervision and aftercare, should be considered. Indications of lower crime rates in later cohorts suggest that some positive changes to the school regime and/or aftercare may have been made already. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The association between type of out ‐of‐home mental health treatment and juvenile justice recidivism for youth with trauma exposure
Conclusions and implications for practiceWe believe that this is the first study to have considered how trauma histories may mediate outcomes for young people in out‐of‐home placements after arrest or conviction for a criminal offence. Findings suggest that case managers and clinicians should consider the trauma histories when making decisions about the appropriate treatment setting in these circumstances.
