===Violence===
Most people with schizophrenia are not aggressive, and are more likely to be victims of violence rather than perpetrators.<ref name=DSM5/> People with schizophrenia are commonly exploited and victimized by violent crime as part of a broader dynamic of social exclusion.<ref name=Killaspy2014/><ref name=Charleson2018/> People diagnosed with schizophrenia are also subject to forced drug injections, seclusion, and restraint at high rates.<ref name=BeckerKilian2006/><ref name=Capdevielle2009/>

The risk of violence by people with schizophrenia is small. There are minor subgroups where the risk is high.<ref name=Richard-Devantoy2009>{{cite journal |vauthors=Richard-Devantoy S, Olie JP, Gourevitch R |title=[Risk of homicide and major mental disorders: a critical review] |journal=L'Encephale |volume=35 |issue=6 |pages=521–530 |date=December 2009 |pmid=20004282 |doi=10.1016/j.encep.2008.10.009}}</ref> This risk is usually associated with a comorbid disorder such as a substance use disorder – in particular alcohol, or with antisocial personality disorder.<ref name=Richard-Devantoy2009/> Substance use disorder is strongly linked, and other risk factors are linked to deficits in cognition and social cognition including facial perception and insight that are in part included in [[theory of mind]] impairments.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Ng R, Fish S, Granholm E |title=Insight and theory of mind in schizophrenia. |journal=Psychiatry Research |volume=225 |issue=1–2 |pages=169–174 |date=30 January 2015 |pmid=25467703 |doi=10.1016/j.psychres.2014.11.010|pmc=4269286 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Bora E |title=Relationship between insight and theory of mind in schizophrenia: A meta-analysis |journal=Schizophrenia Research |volume=190 |pages=11–17 |date=December 2017 |pmid=28302393 |doi=10.1016/j.schres.2017.03.029|s2cid=36263370 }}</ref> Poor cognitive functioning, decision-making, and facial perception may contribute to making a wrong judgement of a situation that could result in an inappropriate response such as violence.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Darmedru C, Demily C, Franck N |title=[Preventing violence in schizophrenia with cognitive remediation] |journal=L'Encephale |volume=44 |issue=2 |pages=158–167 |date=April 2018 |pmid=28641817 |doi=10.1016/j.encep.2017.05.001}}</ref> These associated risk factors are also present in antisocial personality disorder which when present as a comorbid disorder greatly increases the risk of violence.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Richard-Devantoy S, Bouyer-Richard AI, Jollant F, Mondoloni A, Voyer M, Senon JL | title = [Homicide, schizophrenia and substance abuse: a complex interaction] | journal = Revue d'Épidemiologie et de Santé Publique | volume = 61 | issue = 4 | pages = 339–350 | date = August 2013 | pmid = 23816066 | doi = 10.1016/j.respe.2013.01.096 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sedgwick O, Young S, Baumeister D, Greer B, Das M, Kumari V | title = Neuropsychology and emotion processing in violent individuals with antisocial personality disorder or schizophrenia: The same or different?
