Abstract
There is a significant area of overlap between deviant behaviour, crime and mental ill-health. While some deviant behaviour involves creative individuals who are not anti-social, the main focus in this chapter is on the consequences of ‘problem’ deviance. To this end the chapter deals with connections between crime, mental health and birthplace.
