【 摘 要 】

Forensic patients with schizophrenia who had carried out a homicide scored higher on a measure of moral cognition (MFQ-30) than other violent patients. Neurocognitive impairment was associated with homicide by mediation via higher scores for in-group loyalty. (c) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
