Interesting question

[Oz67]

Studies point out that most people with mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders are more likely to be victims than being perpetrators.

The problem that the motives for crimes can go from being sadistic to believing that it is justified to commit crime or it is harmless. There are situations where laws are unjust or don't make sense to follow, or there was a duress situation, where a person forces you to commit crimes with intention to harm you, or crimes without malice. And in vary rare situation from being victimized for a long time, you feel angry at the world.

Breaking the laws is very broad, it goes from infractions, misdemeanors and felonies.

I don't disagree. People with mental health difficulties often seek comfort and emotional support. And that caregiver with every means possible may use this trust and dependency to abuse or exploit the individual. This leads not only to sexual or physical assault but may also lead to robbery.
The other side of the research suggests that patients with mental illness may be more prone to violence if they do not receive adequate treatment. Read this study from APA, and you'll know the figures.
In fact, I included my opinion in something I wrote long ago, that instead of increasing treatment programs to reduce recidivism among neurodevelopmental offenders, authorities must focus more on including cognitive-behavioral treatment for criminal thinking, anger management, and other behavioral issues.

It makes sense.
