Hazard ratios for different crime outcomes in 82 647 patients prescribed mood stabilisers, antipsychotics, and clozapine, compared with periods when these same patients are not on medication (within-individual analyses)

	Crimes in study cohort (n)	Mood stabiliser	Antipsychotic	Clozapine
Any crime (convictions)	29 496	0·83 (0·77–0·90)	0·78 (0·74–0·83)	0·53 (0·33–0·86)
Drug-related crime (convictions)	10 389	0·68 (0·58–0·79)	0·71 (0·65–0·79)	0·41 (0·15–1·13)
Less severe crimes* (convictions)	23 801	0·81 (0·74–0·88)	0·77 (0·73–0·82)	0·55 (0·32–0·97)
Violent crime (suspicions†)	16 069	0·87 (0·78–0·96)	0·74 (0·68–0·79)	0·43 (0·26–0·72)

Data are n or hazard ratio (95% CI).

^*Less severe crime were those that did not lead to custodial sentences.

^†Suspicions were crimes that led to an arrest and preliminary investigation.
