<blockquote>
A point worth pondering...
<blockquote>"From the perspective of public health interventions, only one in ten violent crimes in our sample could have been prevented if these disorders did not exist," she explains of the study's results. In fact, seven per cent were attributed to substance use disorders, and only three per cent were attributable to mental illnesses.
If only 1 in 10 violent crimes can be attributed to those with substance abuse disorders or mental illness... what does that say about the other 9 out of 10 -- that they are committed by the mentally well?
Makes you think, doesn't it?
