Just a note on the homicidal triad: the research backing it has been called into question, mostly because it seems like mentally ill criminals tend to display them, but not at a higher rate than non-violent mentally ill people (except for the torturing/killing of animals). Basically, we don’t have population level data on these traits, so we don’t know how diagnostic they actually are: not that it stops “experts” from testifying about them.
