Research linking schizophrenia to risk for violence is somewhat mixed. It is possible that the association is largely spurious, meaning there are shared causal risk factors (commonly called confounds) that lead to the development of both schizophrenia and violence . Alternatively, schizophrenia may only be indirectly related to violence.

Describe some confounding factors and mediators may account for the link between schizophrenia and violence using evidence from at least two journal articles not discussed in class.
