I am quite close to someone who works regularly with Schizophrenics. I also interviewed Dr Lars Davidson he said I quote "Schizophrenics are no more likely than other members of society to commit violent crimes" but then other people in society do commit violent crimes..
An interesting report I discovered from Finland suggests crime rates amongst Schizophrenics are slightly higher than other sections of society. But I think that should be caveated with the fact that Schizophrenics are more prone to addiction and thus more likely to be affected by alcohol.
I'd argue most known schizophrenic serial killers such as Sutcliffe are quite harmless once locked up. I don't think I'd want to trust Brady however?
But I don't see why we would expect Aaron to be violent once removed from the environment that caused the attacks if indeed he were the ripper.
Yours Jeff
