“…Similar experiences among other police officers have previously been described by Green (1997), who revealed that officers might spend a number of hours with a person with mental illness but then have to release the individual because he or she had become calm and was no longer in need of psychiatric care. This shows two different cultures, with different ways of looking at the patients and their needs: the psychiatric culture of conversation, interpretation, and understanding, and the police culture, where police officers could be described as social control, as Cotton & Coleman (2010) called it for social services.…”

To a large extent today, caring for people with mental illness takes place outside of institutional care. Sometimes, assistance from a special police group may be required to commit the patient to a hospital for continued psychiatric treatment. The aim of this study was to describe a group of police officers and their experiences of committing individuals with mental illness to the hospital for treatment. Two specialised commitment groups within the police were interviewed. A qualitative content analysis was used to identify topics of greater significance in the data. The interviews show that the informants desire greater cooperation with psychiatric care personnel and want to know more about mental illness and how to approach those with mental illness.

“…Individuals with mental illness have specific and often complex needs that must be addressed. As noted by Cotton and Coleman (27), police and providers of mental health services need to work together, each one influencing the other as they interact with the same population. Steadman and others (28) commented that "collaborations between the criminal justice system, the mental health system, and the advocacy community, when combined with essential elements in organization of services .…”

Objective: Few studies have addressed use of resources in police interventions involving individuals with mental illness. The time police officers spend on interventions is a straightforward measure with significant administrative weight, given that it addresses human resource allocation. This study compared the characteristics of police interventions involving individuals with mental illness and a control sample of individuals without mental illness. Methods: A total of 6,128 police interventions in Montreal, Québec, were analyzed by using a retrospective analysis of police intervention logs from three days in 2006. Interventions involving citizens with (N=272) and without (N=5,856) mental illness were compared by reason for the intervention, the use of arrest, and the use of police resources. Results: Police interventions involving individuals with mental illness were less likely than those involving individuals without mental illness to be related to more severe offenses. However, interventions for minor offenses were more likely to lead to arrest when they involved citizens with mental illness. Interventions for reasons of equal severity were twice as likely to lead to arrest if the citizen involved had a mental illness. After controlling for the use of arrest and the severity of the situation, the analysis showed that police interventions involving individuals with mental illness used 87% more resources than interventions involving individuals without mental illness. Conclusions: Future studies using administrative police data sets could investigate the use of resources and division of costs involved in new programs or partnerships to better address the interface of criminal justice and mental health care.

AbstrakSalah satu efek stigmatisasi gangguan jiwa adalah perilaku kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh penderita terhadap orangorang di sekitarnya termasuk keluarga, perawat dan masyarakat. Sebaliknya, penderita mengalami kekerasan dari keluarga, masyarakat dan profesional keperawatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan memahami dampak stigmatisasi dalam hubungannya dengan perilaku kekerasan terhadap penderita; serta untuk mengetahui perilaku kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh penderita terhadap orang lain. Penelitian ini menggunakan Constructivist Grounded Theory. Metode pengumpulan data termasuk wawancara semi-terstruktur, dokumen reviu, catatan lapangan, dan memo. Analisis data menggunakan metode Paillé. Perilaku kekerasan adalah efek stigmatisasi termasuk kekerasan diri sendiri dan kekerasan terhadap keluarga, masyarakat dan tenaga kesehatan. Kekerasan fisik juga dialami penderita dari orang lain. Dampak stigmatisasi dimanifestasikan dengan perilaku kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh penderita, keluarga, staf rumah sakit, masyarakat, dan aparat. Hasil temuan ini relevan untuk para perawat jiwa yang memberikan asuhan keperawatan terhadap pasien perilaku kekerasan. Penelitian lanjut diperlukan untuk melihat perspektif keluarga, masyarakat dan staf pemerintah terkait stigma dengan perilaku kekerasan.
