article 38 of Tunisian Criminal Code. Only patients who committed
patricide or matricide were included.
Results
Our sample included 26 patients (13 patricides; 13
matricides). There was non-significant differences between two
groups concerning: instructional level (
P
= 0.277), professional
status (
P
= 0.387) and marital status (
P
= 0.790). Committers of
patricide and matricide did not differ in terms of psychiatric
diagnosis (
P
= 0.242) and substance abuse (
P
= 0.550). A signifi-
cant difference was found between the two groups in terms of
schizophrenia subtypes, patricide patients suffered from a disor-
ganized schizophrenia whereas matricide patients suffered from
paranoid subtype (
P
= 0.05). Patricide was more frequently associ-
ated to a conflictual relationship between son and father (
P
= 0.05).
We did not record a significant difference in the crime weapon or
its motivations.
Conclusion
Our results helps draw a profile for parricide patients
in order to help identify the ones at risk.

Introduction
Shelters or orphanages are institutions responsible
for ensuring the physical and mental integrity of children and ado-
lescents who had their rights violated or neglected, whether from a
social-levers, is at personal risk to which they were exposed or the
negligence of its parents; in Brazil about 20,000 children and ado-
lescents living in about 500 registered shelters that receive funds
from the federal government.
Objectives
Assess causes of institutionalization of children and
adolescents in a shelter in Mafra/Santa Catarina State, Brazil.
Aims
Demonstrating the causes of shelter, it is easier to point
out the solutions and try to charge the responsible authorities to
comply with the child and adolescent statute.
Methods
We evaluated the records of institutionalized children
and adolescents from themunicipal shelter inMafra/Santa Catarina
State, Brazil since January/2011 to July/2015.
Results
Institutionalization of the causes cited were: lack
of family/guardian material resources, abandonment by par-
ents/guardians, domestic violence, substance abuse of par-
ents/guardians, street experience, orphans and others.
Conclusions
In Brazil, poverty and extreme poverty are closely
related to the institutionalization of causes of children and adoles-
cents. Census data in 2010, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and
Statistics (IBGE) indicate that 40% of Brazilians living in poverty are
girls and boys up to 14 years in a total of approximately 23 million
individuals. Poverty denies children and adolescents their rights,
representing a vulnerability, which predisposes to some causes of
shelter.

Introduction
Several studies suggest the existence of a relation-
ship between major mental disorders and crime. However, it is
important to emphasize that violent behaviors do not affect all
patients and that issues of criminality among mentally ill persons
only represents a small proportion.
Aims
The objective of this study is to establish the general and
clinical profile of perpetrators of sexual and physical assaults.
Methods
This is a retrospective study of the records of forensic
psychiatric expertise, conducted in the psychiatry department of
the University Hospital of Mahdia during the period from May 1st
2000 to May 31st 2013.
Results
The general profile of the population the study was
characterized by a mean age of 39 years, a sex ratio of 8.25,
unemployment in 73% of cases and by the presence of a psychi-
atric personal history 54% of cases. Sexual and physical assaults
accounted for 54.5% of cases. It was essentially in descending order:
assault and battery (65%), rape (16.2%) and incest (5.4%). As for the
clinical profile, schizophrenia and epilepsy were recorded each in
13.5% of cases, major depressive disorder in 8.1% of cases, bipolar
disorder in 5.4% and substance abuse in 5.4% of cases. A personality
disorder was observed in 48.6% cases, essentially antisocial person-
ality (55%). Comorbidity with addictive behavior was observed in
56.7% of cases.
Conclusion
It is necessary to characterize a subgroup of patients
with mental disorders, likely to commit violent crimes, in order to
prevent acting out behaviors and adapt their management.
