Title : Predictability of an impulsivity index for chronic violence committed in institutions.

Abstract : A minority of patients hospitalized for long term treatment are responsible for a majority of violent incidents in institutions (5% of patients are responsible for more than 53% of violent incidents). This group of patients seems to be more resistant to medication and have more severe mental health problems.
Moreover, there seems to be more verbal violence in this environment and less dangerous attacts then when they first enter the institution.
