Challenges in Mental Health and Policing : Key Themes and Perspectives Paperback / softback
by Ian (University of Salford) Cummins
Part of the Key Themes in Policing series
Paperback / softback
Description
Police officers deal with mental illness-related incidents on an almost daily basis.
Ian Cummins explores how factors such as deinstitutionalisation, community care failings and, more recently, welfare retrenchment policies have led to this situation.
He then considers how police officers should be supported by community mental health agencies to make confident and correct decisions, and to ensure that the individuals they encounter receive support from the most appropriate services. Of interest to police researchers and students of criminology and the social sciences, the book examines police officers’ views on mental health work and includes a chapter by a service user.
