Abstract

Background: The theoretical understanding of firesetting behaviour has predominantly been developed with men in prisons or psychiatric hospitals without neurodevelopmental disabilities. Consequently, there is a lack of evidence regarding the validity of current theory when applied to adults with intellectual disabilities and/or autism.

Method: Thirteen adults in England with intellectual and other developmental disabilities were interviewed about the affective, cognitive, behavioural, and contextual factors leading up to and surrounding a recorded firesetting incident. Interviews were analysed using a Grounded Theory approach.

Results: The resulting model consists of four phases: (1) background, (2) early adulthood, (3) pre-offence period, and (4) offence, and post offence period.

Conclusion: The model accounts for unique precursors to firesetting including mental health deterioration, poor problem solving, and new motivations for firesetting. Unlike other offence chain theories, the significance of post-offence behaviour and cognitions are highlighted.

针对智力和其他发育障碍成年人的初步纵火犯罪链

摘要背景对纵火行为的理论理解主要是针对监狱或精神病院中没有神经发育障碍的男性。因此，缺乏证据表明当前理论在应用于智力残疾和/或自闭症成年人时的有效性。方法对13名患有智力和其他发育障碍的英国成年人进行了访谈，了解导致和围绕记录在案的纵火事件的情感、认知、行为和环境因素。访谈采用扎根理论方法进行分析。结果所得到的模型由四个阶段组成：（1）背景，（2）成年早期，（3）犯罪前时期，（4）犯罪和犯罪后时期。结论该模型解释了纵火的独特前兆，包括心理健康恶化、问题解决能力差和纵火的新动机。与其他犯罪链理论不同，犯罪后行为和认知的重要性得到了强调。
