Prescription of psychotropic medication after prison release linked to lower rate of violent reoffending

(The JAMA Network Journals) Among released prisoners in Sweden, rates of violent reoffending were lower during periods when individuals were dispensed antipsychotics, psychostimulants, and drugs for addictive disorders, compared with periods in which they were not dispensed these medications, according to a study appearing in the Nov. 1 issue of JAMA.
