The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Anger and Psychopathology (2010, background): “Threat-related symptoms (e.g., Wessely et al., 1993; Taylor et al., 1998; Swanson et al., 2006) and threat/control-override (TCO) symptoms (i.e., thoughts of threat and of personal control being overridden by external agents) have been linked with violence (e.g., Link & Stueve, 1994; Swanson et…”
The Impact of Mental Illness Stigma on Seeking and Participating in Mental Health Care (2014, background): “However, the public grossly overestimates dangerousness among people with mental illness (Link, Phelan, Bresnahan, Stueve, & Pescosolido, 1999; Swanson et al., 2002; Swanson et al., 2006); this is the stereotype, after all.”
Schizophrenia, Substance Abuse, and Violent Crime (2009, positive): “It would also explain why attempts to find psychoticsymptomsassociatedwithviolence haveproducedcontradictoryresults.(11,13,14) Therefore,byusinglongitudinaldesigns, we examined the relationship of schizophrenia with violent crime in Sweden from 1973 until 2006.”
The Relationship Between Mental Health Problems and Violence Among Criminal Offenders (2008, background): “Another possible explanation for these findings is that people with mental health problems may spend more time at home, bringing them into greater contact with children, family, and other known people (Swanson et al., 2006).”
