Abstract
Violent behavior occurs in a social system that includes a person who has a
certain life history, a certain state of health or a disorder and interaction with certain
social circumstances. Biological and environmental interaction is responsible for
violence and aggression. Theories of social teachings indicate that violent behavior
is a product of former experiences, which include predisposing environmental
conditions. Permanent displays of violence in the media are deserting the viewer of
violence. The aim of the paper was to determine the impact of risk factors of a
social nature, which determine the violent behavior among people with mental
disorders. The study is prospective with a retrospective approach. The research was
conducted at the Psychiatric Hospital Demir Hisar, Psychiatric Hospital "Skopje" -
Skopje and the Center for Mental Health Prilep. The time frame for the research
was between May 2014 and May 2015. For the needs of the research, a conducted
interview was created for assessing the social / demographic characteristics, as well
