Objectives:
Compulsory mental health care includes compulsory hospitalisation and outpatient commitment with medication treatment without consent. Uncertain evidence of the effects of compulsory care contributes to large geographical variations and a controversy on its use. Some argue that compulsion can rarely be justified and should be reduced to an absolute minimum, while others claim compulsion can more frequently be justified. The limited evidence base has contributed to variations in care that raise issues about the quality/appropriateness of care as well as ethical concerns. To address the question whether compulsory mental health care results in superior, worse or equivalent outcomes for patients, this project will utilise registry-based longitudinal data to examine the effect of compulsory inpatient and outpatient care on multiple outcomes, including suicide and overall mortality; emergency care/injuries; crime and victimisation; and participation in the labour force and welfare dependency.
Methods:
By using the natural variation in health providers' preference for compulsory care as a source of quasi-randomisation we will estimate causal effects of compulsory care on short- and long-term trajectories.
Conclusions:
This project will provide valuable insights for service providers and policy makers in facilitating high quality clinical care pathways for a high risk population group.

Changes over time in intimate partner homicide in Norway
.
Vis sammendrag
Intimate partner homicide (IPH) is an extreme outcome of intimate partner violence (IPV). IPH needs
to be investigated over time to see whether changes occur. This study includes the total Norwegian
cohort of IPHs between 1990 and 2020 and analyses changes in the incidence rate during this period.
Poisson regression was applied. The results show that though incidence rates for homicide generally
declined steadily and significantly from 1990, IPH rates did not begin to decline until 2015. As IPH is
often the culmination of IPV, it is preventable even if risk assessment is challenging due to the low
base rates.

Intimate partner homicide in Norway – stability or changes in more recent times?
Vis sammendrag
Background: The first encompassing scientific investigation of all intimate partner homicides in Norway
between 1990-2012 was published in 2015. A recurring question has been whether substantial changes
have occurred in more recent times, leading to a different empirical landscape.
Methods: Data included all intimate partner homicides from 1990 to 2019 with a final conviction. We
conducted adjusted logistic regression analyses to scrutinize differences between the two periods. To
investigate prevalence changes over time we conducted Poisson regression.
Findings: During the time span there were 224 intimate partner homicides with a final conviction. Results
indicated some reductions concerning prevalence and rates. Several rates and characteristics were stable,
while sentence length had increased.
Conclusions and implications: There were no observed changes to the finding that a majority of intimate
partner homicides had observed risk factors. There is need for studies covering longer time spans and about
professionals’ managing codes of confidentiality and mandatory reporting.

Mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence
.
Vis sammendrag
To prevent intimate partner violence (IPV) and intimate partner homicide, countries have adopted legislation requiring professionals to report cases of IPV, or suspected IPV injuries,
to the police or the criminal justice system. The term for this is mandatory reporting. In these
countries, the duty to report is legally ranked higher than patient confidentiality. In spite of
this, mandatory reporting of IPV remains a controversial issue. The World Health
Organization (WHO) (2013) advises against mandatory reporting of IPV for clinicians and
researchers. The objective of this paper is to synthetize the evidence from empirical studies
on mandatory reporting of IPV.

A recent review article in the International Journal of Mental Health Nursing addressed the validity and utility of risk assessment tools for violence in acute care settings (Ghosh et al., 2019). Five electronic databases were searched between 2000 and 2018, and of 379 records identified, 41 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 16 risk assessment tools were identified.

Risk of intimate partner violence by multiple partners : what do we know so far? .
Vis sammendrag
This comparative study investigates victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) by multiple partners (MP) and victims of IPV by one partner. We look for group differences and if there are victim-related risk factors for IPV by MP. Through a systematic literature review, we have identified some categories of risk factors: history of childhood domestic trauma, drug abuse, IPV characteristics, and attachment style. These categories are now being tested applying a sample of (N=150) women with no (n = 50), one (n = 50) and multiple (n =50) violent successive partners. Preliminary results will be discussed in the oral presentation.

Intimate partner homicide followed by suicide : bereaved perspectives .
Vis sammendrag
This study investigates intimate partner homicide (IPH) followed by suicide (IPHS). All IPHs in Norway from 1990 to 2012 (N = 177) were included. Qualitative data were collected by interviews with bereaved. Quantitative data were extracted from court documents. Systematic text condensation and multivariate logistic regression were conducted. One fourth of IPHs were IPHS. Results address how the bereaved perceive the intentional aspect of IPHS and their interpretation of stressful situations as a trigger of IPHS, and perpetrator characteristics with focus on previous criminal record and having a history of disregard and violations of the law. 2

Mass murderers - what do we know. A brief presentation.
Vis sammendrag
Mass homicide events naturally generate considerable attention. It is defined as four or more killings made in a single event, at a particular location without any longer time intervals between the killings. Such atrocities can occur due to gang shootings, robberies, terrorism or acts of revenge/honor/publicity. In the wake of such extreme and tragic events the media and the public often seek to understand the phenomena. Therefore the media often ask different experts to give the public insights in who these perpetrators are. Several research reports have tried to explain mass murder. It is common to develop different profiles or typologies of the perpetrators. However, empirical studies are scarce and findings supporting the typologies are weak and inconclusive. Examples of research designs and typologies will be given. The lecture will give examples of mass murderers, the knowledge of such perpetrators anno 2017 and address the quality of the current research on mass homicide.
