TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Revisiting arson from an outpatient forensic perspective JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Leong, G. B. A1 - Silva, J. A. SP - 558 EP - 563 VL - 44 IS - 3 N2 - Progress in the understanding of individuals who commit arson has been on a slow but steady course over the past two decades. From our review of court-ordered outpatient forensic psychiatric evaluation of individuals charged with arson over a five-year period, preliminary prototypical profiles of the psychotic, mentally retarded, alcohol abusing, and mood-disordered firesetter are offered. The clinical-legal relevance of our results are explored.
