The relationship between mental illness and criminal occurrences
Most people believe that mental illness is rare and can barely happen to the people around them, which is not the case.
It is often characterized by unusual thoughts, feelings, perceptions, behavior and relationships with other people.
“Mental illness is very common and is often not recognized because of its different manifestations” (Weir, 2012).
There is also barely enough awareness about mental illness and its side effects both in the US and in the world.
