I just finished reading an amazing book called Violence by James Gilligan, who was the medical director for the Massachusetts Corrections Department for a decade and worked as chief psychiatrist for the state hospital for the criminally insane for a decade before that. His understanding of what causes violent behavior is really interesting and is based on years of patient interviews and case studies. He does not mention mental illness once, except in the sense that killing people, in general, seems crazy to those without a propensity toward violence.
