This paper discusses mental illness and violence. This paper will examine the reliability and implications of identifying those with mental illness as dangerous or violent to others and which may result in criminal behavior, according to journal article, "Mental disorders and criminal behaviors," by Modestin, J. and Ammann, R published in the British Journal of Criminal Psychology in 1998. For some the association between mental illness and dangerousness is automatic. Media portrayals of mental illness give rise to beliefs that the sole conditions necessary for violence towards others by a person are mental illness and the individual's liberty.
