The aim of the present study is to add to our growing understanding of crime committed by the mentally ill, especially offenders with schizophrenia, to provide insight into difference between offenders with and without mental disorder, and eventually to prevent crime committed by the mentally ill. Based on the previous research and through case studies, the present study investigated offense behaviors and characteristics of the offenders with schizophrenia at the time of offense. In addition, based on official statistics on the previous convictions of the offenders, the present study examined the risk of reoffense by the mentally ill. As a result, two thirds of offenders who have mental disorder had previous convictions, and the rate of offenders who had committed crimes more than five times before has increased over the years. In terms of offender-victim relationship, relatives of offenders are at a greater risk for victimization by the mentally ill. In conclusion, there exists considerable differences between offenders with and without mental disorder in terms of their offense behavior, background characteristics, and selection of victim. More research on the crime-scene behaviors of the offenders with schizophrenia and the evaluation of victim risk is needed.
