The document summarizes a study that examined police calls classified as related to mental health over a 6-month period. Some key findings included: - 15.6% of clients were aged 16 or younger, highlighting early contact with the law due to mental health challenges. - 9.1% of clients were Aboriginal, suggesting overrepresentation compared to the city's population. - The median number of previous encounters with police was 11, indicating high frequency of contact and demand on police resources. - Most calls brought police to the client's home, and family members were most likely to call police for assistance.

This essay was written in my first year of the behavioural psychology program. I covers complex topics such as police brutality and bias, mental illness, and addiction.
Equal access to justice? Rape victimisation and psychosocial disabilty
This document discusses research on victimization rates and experiences of individuals with psychosocial disabilities (PSD) reporting rape. Several studies found much higher rates of violent victimization, including rape, among people with PSD compared to the general population. However, rape complaints involving complainants with recorded mental health conditions (MHC) in a UK police dataset were more likely to be discontinued, and those complainants were more likely to have their credibility doubted. Remaining gaps in data on PSD and attrition in criminal justice systems are inconsistent with equality obligations.
Alcohol and drugs in relation to crime
Substance abuse has risen 68% in the last 10 years and is linked to crimes like anti-social behavior and violence. Studies show that 70% of offenders abused alcohol in the past and 50% still have issues with it. Age 16-24 year old males are most likely to abuse substances and commit crimes. Poverty and lack of education are also linked to higher rates of substance abuse and crime, as those suffering from social exclusion may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope or see dealing as their only means. Finally, regular cannabis use increases the risk of mental illness, which is in turn linked to criminal behavior.
CAPE SOCIOLOGY Women and crime
Women generally commit crimes at lower rates than men. However, the extent of female criminality is difficult to determine due to various factors. Female crimes may be less likely to be reported or recorded by authorities. They also tend to be of a more minor nature. Traditional criminology has focused more on male criminality because it was viewed as more problematic and threatening. Certain common female crimes, such as shoplifting and abortion, often go unrecorded. Societal and law enforcement biases also contribute to women receiving more lenient treatment and penalties when they do commit crimes.

This document discusses the high rates of victimization experienced by people with psychosocial disabilities (PSD) and barriers they face in the criminal justice system. Surveys found 71% of people with mental distress were victimized in the past two years. Victims with PSD experience additional vulnerabilities like homelessness and are less likely to have their cases taken seriously or referred for prosecution due to perceived credibility issues. Police are more likely to note doubts about the credibility of rape complainants with recorded mental health conditions compared to those without. Further research is needed to understand how PSD impacts case attrition given current gaps in evidence.
Why Driving Under Influence of Marijuana Must be Avoided
Besides causing physical and psychological damage, overdose of a drug can lead to death. Many parents are unaware of their children’s activities and cannot suspect if they are addicted to any harmful substance. A 19-year-old boy’s mother was oblivious of the fact that marijuana led to the tragic death of her son until the autopsy report came in. The boy had 10 ng/mL of Delta-9 THC in his system, twice the amount permitted under the law (5.0 ng/mL). The teenager’s fun ride along Franklin Street in Denver soon came to a gory end.

Keywords: domestic violence, impact on children, child abuse, coping mechanisms,

Introduction
Domestic violence is a significant problem for those whose life is affected
by this issue, the social, health and criminal justice agencies that respond
to it, and wider society that must bear the costs. Whilst domestic violence
is not a new phenomenon, the past thirty years has seen increas-
ing public awareness and a growing political consensus that something
needs to be done, even if what should be done is less clear (Holt and
Devaney, 2015). Over time our understanding about the presentation,
dynamics and impact of domestic violence has developed, resulting in the
need to define what is it that society needs to tackle. This, however, has
not been a trouble free endeavour, with definitions and understanding of
violence varying across research studies, regions and cultural settings
(European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, 2014). In Northern
Ireland domestic violence (also referred to as domestic abuse or intimate
partner violence in the literature) has been defined as:

In a British Crime Survey it was reported that half of those who suffered
domestic violence in the previous year were living with a child aged
sixteen years or younger (Mirrlees-Black, 1999). Within the United
Kingdom it is estimated that up to one million children have been
exposed to domestic violence (UNICEF, 2006). Yet in spite of these
stark statistics there has been, until recently, a systemic failure by public
agencies to appreciate that the presence of domestic violence should be
an indicator of the importance of assessing the needs of children to both
support and protection when living in the same household as the victim.

This document summarizes a presentation given at the 121st Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in Honolulu, HI on July 31, 2013. The presentation discussed rates of physical, psychological, and sexual teen dating violence found in the national Growing up with Media survey. Key findings included that 41% of females and 37% of males reported experiencing dating violence victimization, with higher rates of physical perpetration reported among females and sexual perpetration among males. Differences in rates between demographic groups were generally small, and many adolescents reported both perpetrating and experiencing abuse. The presenters concluded that dating abuse is common among teens and that relationship dynamics likely play a role in reciprocal abuse.Nl final proposal.6.13.15

ABSTRACT
Background Changes in mental health service provision in most western countries
have been associated with an increasing role of the police in the community manage-
ment of people with mental health problems, but little is known about how the police
perceive this in the UK.
Objectives To investigate police offi cers’ views on their roles in dealings with people
with mental health problems and with mental health services.
Methods Nine in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with front line
police offi cers. These interviews were analysed for recurrent themes using interpretative
phenomenological analysis.
Results The recurrent themes identifi ed were: emotional aspects of dealing with
people with mental health problems and with services, impact of incidents on police
resources and on people with mental health problems, success through collaborative
working with health services and failure in its absence.
Conclusions Police offi cers’ experiences of work with people with mental disorder in
the community in Scotland had much in common with those previously reported in the
USA and in Australia. Development of more collaborative approaches and mutual
respect between the police and mental health service providers would resolve many of
the currently perceived diffi culties. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Introduction
The level of contact between the police and the mentally ill has increased sub-
stantially in recent years (Patch and Arrigo, 1999; Price, 2005), with the reasons
for this frequently attributed to deinstitutionalisation, reduction in the number
of psychiatric beds and ever more stringent commitment criteria (Lamb and

Weinberger, 2005; Wells and Schafer, 2006). Most data are from outside the UK,
where the police may spend about 10% of their time attending individuals with
mental health problems, with 60% of offi cers responding at least once a month
to a mental health-related incident (USA, Swanson et al., 2001; Australia, Fry
et al., 2002; USA, Watson et al., 2008). Other fi gures suggest that up to one-third
of all emergency mental health referrals are made by the police (USA, Dossche
and Ghani, 1998). Moreover, between 20–40% of people with severe mental
illness are arrested during their lifetime (USA, Vermette et al., 2005). Thus, the
police have an integral role in mental health service provision. They can b.

168 Public Administration Review • March April 2017Publi
This document summarizes research on investigatory police stops and how they contribute to racial disparities and a crisis of legitimacy in American policing. It finds that investigatory stops, where officers stop people to check for criminal activity without evidence of a violation, are a major source of racial disparities. Data shows that African Americans are disproportionately subject to these stops and the intrusive questioning and searches that often accompany them. While meant to fight crime, these widespread investigatory stops undermine trust in the police, especially among African Americans. The authors argue policy and practice reforms are needed, like requiring documentation of all stops, to address this institutional problem beyond a focus on individual officer behavior alone.

Abstract : American policing faces a crisis of legitimacy. A key source of this crisis is a widespread police practice
commonly endorsed by police leaders to fight crime. This is the investigatory stop, used to check out people who seem
suspicious and to seize illegal drugs and guns and make arrests. Using data from an original scientific survey of
drivers in the Kansas City metropolitan area, the authors show that racial disparities in police stops are concentrated
in investigatory vehicle stops. In these stops, but not others, officers disproportionately stop African Americans and
question and search them. The overwhelming majority of people stopped in this way are innocent, and the experience
causes psychological harm and erodes trust in and cooperation with the police. Many of the most controversial police
shootings during the past two years occurred in these stops. Reforming this practice is an essential step toward restoring
trust in the police.
Practitioner Points
• Although evidence of their effectiveness is not clear, investigatory police stops (commonly using minor
violations as a pretext for a more searching inquiry) are widely used by local police departments as a crime-
fighting tactic.
• Most people stopped in investigatory stops are innocent, yet they ar ...
168 public administration review • march april 2017 publi
This document discusses racial disparities in policing, specifically investigatory police stops. It argues that racial disparities stem not just from individual racist officers, but from institutional policies and practices, such as widespread use of investigatory stops. Investigatory stops are used to check out suspicious people or vehicles to see if they are engaged in criminal activity, but most people stopped are innocent. These stops undermine trust in police, especially among African Americans who are disproportionately subjected to them. Reforming this practice is key to restoring trust in law enforcement.
Visual Presentation Writing 39C UCI
This document discusses gender-based violence in the U.S., focusing on domestic abuse and sexual assault. It explores the historical relationship between patriarchy and violence against women. While such attitudes remain normalized in society today, women of all backgrounds experience these forms of violence. The document then outlines two approaches to addressing this issue: responding through improving police response and supporting survivors, and preventing further assaults through education and awareness programs. It stresses the importance of continued research to evaluate effective policies and methods for holding perpetrators accountable and changing social views.
Research report
This document is a research proposal on police brutality and the dangers faced by police. It includes an introduction, literature review, methodology, and analysis sections. The introduction provides definitions of police brutality and discusses its forms and cases in Pakistan. The literature review examines previous research on the structure of policing in Pakistan and perspectives on police brutality. The methodology section describes the qualitative nature of the study and data collection using interviews. The analysis presents the results of a questionnaire given to university students on topics related to police brutality and safety.

This document provides an overview of a workshop on improving responses to youth involved in or at risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system. The workshop will feature presenters discussing strategies to decriminalize behaviors of homeless youth, engage youth to promote safety and stability, and help youth with criminal records navigate systems to access housing, employment, and services. Approximately 30% of homeless youth served by one organization had contact with the juvenile justice system. Homeless youth are vulnerable to criminal justice involvement due to behaviors related to living on the streets, untreated mental health issues, drug use, and risk of sexual exploitation. Youth released from juvenile facilities also face challenges including homelessness.

This meta-analysis examined differences between male adolescents who committed sexual offenses against intrafamilial victims (AIV) versus extrafamilial victims (AEV). The analysis included 26 studies comparing 2169 AIV and 2852 AEV. Key findings were that AIV presented with greater atypical sexual interests, increased sexual regulation issues, more severe family dysfunction, more extensive childhood maltreatment histories, and greater internalizing psychopathology than AEV. In contrast, AEV presented with more indicators of antisociality than AIV.

Introduction
Elder abuse is the intentional action that infringes harm or develops a fatal risk of harm. It is as well the failure by the caregivers to meet the elder’s basic needs or to safeguard the elder from harm. There has been limited research that has been conducted on elder abuse (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). This study will major on elder abuse as well as the different ways that can be used to handle elder abuse.
Methods
To identify the current status as well as quality of elder abuse study, a well-detailed research of health science literature was carried out and every article was graded. All literature searches were carried out from the inception of every index through March 10, 2014 (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016).
Results
The majority of the elderly have suffered from abuse. In a period of 10 months, 40 cases, 51% had been physically abused, 10% had hearing as well as visual impairment and 41% were physically abused (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). The most common form of abuse among these individuals was physical, psychological as well as material abuse.
Discussion
Based on the study, elder abuse is a worldwide public health as well as human right issue and the abuse of old individuals are related to inappropriate health outcomes from minor injuries to disabilities, long-lasting psychological issues, suicide, and maximized risk of being hospitalized (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). Elderly abuse can be handled through counseling, adult day care programs, educating people on how to recognize and report elder abuse, and listening to the older people and their caregivers to understand their challenges and give support.
Conclusion
The older adult population is increasing at a high rate in the U.S. in comparison to the younger people. many older individuals need care and are vulnerable to violence from their caregivers.

Lie detection is an important topic in psychology and law and it is among the areas that are used in psychology. It is not hard to identify the reason why it is essential to know if one is lying or telling the truth during police cases which involves court trials, criminal and intelligence interviews (Vicianova, 2015).
Telling lies as well as other types of deception are consistent characteristics of human social behavior. In order to enhance lie detection, psychologists as well as practitioners are required to come up with a way of detecting the lies. These tools tend to implement the whole possible solutions such as; a ...
The Importance Of Juvenile Delinquency
This document discusses juvenile delinquency, particularly female juvenile delinquency. It notes that while juvenile delinquency rates are declining, girls are the fastest growing segment of the juvenile justice system. There is a lack of appropriate programs and services for female juvenile offenders, especially pregnant teens, as the system was designed for males. Child abuse and family dysfunction are discussed as factors that can contribute to female juvenile delinquency.
Neurobiology+TB+12-6-16
This document provides an overview of the neurobiology of trauma and its implications for interviewing victims. It discusses how trauma impacts brain functioning and memory formation. Traumatic memories are initially just fragmented sensations that are later integrated into narrative stories by the prefrontal cortex. However, the prefrontal cortex may be impaired during trauma, resulting in fragmented and inconsistent victim accounts that raise suspicion. Understanding these neurobiological effects of trauma can help improve victim interviewing techniques.
Mental Illness and Policing
This document discusses the challenges law enforcement officers face when responding to calls involving mentally ill individuals. It notes that police frequently interact with the mentally ill, as an estimated 7% of police contacts involve the mentally ill. The document then outlines several programs and approaches that have been developed to improve police response, such as Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT), which provide officers training to recognize mental illness and de-escalate crises. It also discusses the role of deinstitutionalization in increasing mentally ill populations within the criminal justice system and various federal initiatives to advance collaborative approaches between law enforcement and mental health professionals.
Criminal behavior among the homeless individuals
1) The documents discuss criminal behavior among homeless individuals, especially those with mental illnesses. Several studies found high rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration among homeless people with mental disorders, ranging from 63.95-90% arrested.
2) Victimization is also common, with rates of 4.4-35% for any victimization and 7.7-28% for violent victimization. Homeless women and those with a history of prior victimization are at even higher risk.
3) One study in rural China found that 10% of individuals with schizophrenia engaged in criminal behavior, with 2% incarcerated and 8% arrested. Homelessness and mental illness contribute to increased criminal behavior.

The presenters concluded that dating abuse is common among teens and that relationship dynamics likely play a role in reciprocal abuse.Nl final proposal.6.13.15

ABSTRACT
Background Changes in mental health service provision in most western countries
have been associated with an increasing role of the police in the community manage-
ment of people with mental health problems, but little is known about how the police
perceive this in the UK.
Objectives To investigate police offi cers’ views on their roles in dealings with people
with mental health problems and with mental health services.
Methods Nine in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with front line
police offi cers. These interviews were analysed for recurrent themes using interpretative
phenomenological analysis.
Results The recurrent themes identifi ed were: emotional aspects of dealing with
people with mental health problems and with services, impact of incidents on police
resources and on people with mental health problems, success through collaborative
working with health services and failure in its absence.
Conclusions Police offi cers’ experiences of work with people with mental disorder in
the community in Scotland had much in common with those previously reported in the
USA and in Australia. Development of more collaborative approaches and mutual
respect between the police and mental health service providers would resolve many of
the currently perceived diffi culties. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Introduction
The level of contact between the police and the mentally ill has increased sub-
stantially in recent years (Patch and Arrigo, 1999; Price, 2005), with the reasons
for this frequently attributed to deinstitutionalisation, reduction in the number
of psychiatric beds and ever more stringent commitment criteria (Lamb and

Weinberger, 2005; Wells and Schafer, 2006). Most data are from outside the UK,
where the police may spend about 10% of their time attending individuals with
mental health problems, with 60% of offi cers responding at least once a month
to a mental health-related incident (USA, Swanson et al., 2001; Australia, Fry
et al., 2002; USA, Watson et al., 2008). Other fi gures suggest that up to one-third
of all emergency mental health referrals are made by the police (USA, Dossche
and Ghani, 1998). Moreover, between 20–40% of people with severe mental
illness are arrested during their lifetime (USA, Vermette et al., 2005). Thus, the
police have an integral role in mental health service provision. They can b.

168 Public Administration Review • March April 2017Publi
This document summarizes research on investigatory police stops and how they contribute to racial disparities and a crisis of legitimacy in American policing. It finds that investigatory stops, where officers stop people to check for criminal activity without evidence of a violation, are a major source of racial disparities. Data shows that African Americans are disproportionately subject to these stops and the intrusive questioning and searches that often accompany them. While meant to fight crime, these widespread investigatory stops undermine trust in the police, especially among African Americans. The authors argue policy and practice reforms are needed, like requiring documentation of all stops, to address this institutional problem beyond a focus on individual officer behavior alone.

Abstract : American policing faces a crisis of legitimacy. A key source of this crisis is a widespread police practice
commonly endorsed by police leaders to fight crime. This is the investigatory stop, used to check out people who seem
suspicious and to seize illegal drugs and guns and make arrests. Using data from an original scientific survey of
drivers in the Kansas City metropolitan area, the authors show that racial disparities in police stops are concentrated
in investigatory vehicle stops. In these stops, but not others, officers disproportionately stop African Americans and
question and search them. The overwhelming majority of people stopped in this way are innocent, and the experience
causes psychological harm and erodes trust in and cooperation with the police. Many of the most controversial police
shootings during the past two years occurred in these stops. Reforming this practice is an essential step toward restoring
trust in the police.
Practitioner Points
• Although evidence of their effectiveness is not clear, investigatory police stops (commonly using minor
violations as a pretext for a more searching inquiry) are widely used by local police departments as a crime-
fighting tactic.
• Most people stopped in investigatory stops are innocent, yet they ar ...
168 public administration review • march april 2017 publi
This document discusses racial disparities in policing, specifically investigatory police stops. It argues that racial disparities stem not just from individual racist officers, but from institutional policies and practices, such as widespread use of investigatory stops. Investigatory stops are used to check out suspicious people or vehicles to see if they are engaged in criminal activity, but most people stopped are innocent. These stops undermine trust in police, especially among African Americans who are disproportionately subjected to them. Reforming this practice is key to restoring trust in law enforcement.

This document discusses gender-based violence in the U.S., focusing on domestic abuse and sexual assault. It explores the historical relationship between patriarchy and violence against women. While such attitudes remain normalized in society today, women of all backgrounds experience these forms of violence. The document then outlines two approaches to addressing this issue: responding through improving police response and supporting survivors, and preventing further assaults through education and awareness programs. It stresses the importance of continued research to evaluate effective policies and methods for holding perpetrators accountable and changing social views.

This document provides an overview of a workshop on improving responses to youth involved in or at risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system. The workshop will feature presenters discussing strategies to decriminalize behaviors of homeless youth, engage youth to promote safety and stability, and help youth with criminal records navigate systems to access housing, employment, and services. Approximately 30% of homeless youth served by one organization had contact with the juvenile justice system. Homeless youth are vulnerable to criminal justice involvement due to behaviors related to living on the streets, untreated mental health issues, drug use, and risk of sexual exploitation. Youth released from juvenile facilities also face challenges including homelessness.

This meta-analysis examined differences between male adolescents who committed sexual offenses against intrafamilial victims (AIV) versus extrafamilial victims (AEV). The analysis included 26 studies comparing 2169 AIV and 2852 AEV. Key findings were that AIV presented with greater atypical sexual interests, increased sexual regulation issues, more severe family dysfunction, more extensive childhood maltreatment histories, and greater internalizing psychopathology than AEV. In contrast, AEV presented with more indicators of antisociality than AIV.

Introduction
Elder abuse is the intentional action that infringes harm or develops a fatal risk of harm. It is as well the failure by the caregivers to meet the elder’s basic needs or to safeguard the elder from harm. There has been limited research that has been conducted on elder abuse (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). This study will major on elder abuse as well as the different ways that can be used to handle elder abuse.
Methods
To identify the current status as well as quality of elder abuse study, a well-detailed research of health science literature was carried out and every article was graded. All literature searches were carried out from the inception of every index through March 10, 2014 (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016).
Results
The majority of the elderly have suffered from abuse. In a period of 10 months, 40 cases, 51% had been physically abused, 10% had hearing as well as visual impairment and 41% were physically abused (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). The most common form of abuse among these individuals was physical, psychological as well as material abuse.
Discussion
Based on the study, elder abuse is a worldwide public health as well as human right issue and the abuse of old individuals are related to inappropriate health outcomes from minor injuries to disabilities, long-lasting psychological issues, suicide, and maximized risk of being hospitalized (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). Elderly abuse can be handled through counseling, adult day care programs, educating people on how to recognize and report elder abuse, and listening to the older people and their caregivers to understand their challenges and give support.
Conclusion
The older adult population is increasing at a high rate in the U.S. in comparison to the younger people. many older individuals need care and are vulnerable to violence from their caregivers.

Lie detection is an important topic in psychology and law and it is among the areas that are used in psychology. It is not hard to identify the reason why it is essential to know if one is lying or telling the truth during police cases which involves court trials, criminal and intelligence interviews (Vicianova, 2015).
Telling lies as well as other types of deception are consistent characteristics of human social behavior. In order to enhance lie detection, psychologists as well as practitioners are required to come up with a way of detecting the lies. These tools tend to implement the whole possible solutions such as; a ...
The Importance Of Juvenile Delinquency
This document discusses juvenile delinquency, particularly female juvenile delinquency. It notes that while juvenile delinquency rates are declining, girls are the fastest growing segment of the juvenile justice system. There is a lack of appropriate programs and services for female juvenile offenders, especially pregnant teens, as the system was designed for males. Child abuse and family dysfunction are discussed as factors that can contribute to female juvenile delinquency.
Neurobiology+TB+12-6-16
This document provides an overview of the neurobiology of trauma and its implications for interviewing victims. It discusses how trauma impacts brain functioning and memory formation. Traumatic memories are initially just fragmented sensations that are later integrated into narrative stories by the prefrontal cortex. However, the prefrontal cortex may be impaired during trauma, resulting in fragmented and inconsistent victim accounts that raise suspicion. Understanding these neurobiological effects of trauma can help improve victim interviewing techniques.
Mental Illness and Policing
This document discusses the challenges law enforcement officers face when responding to calls involving mentally ill individuals. It notes that police frequently interact with the mentally ill, as an estimated 7% of police contacts involve the mentally ill. The document then outlines several programs and approaches that have been developed to improve police response, such as Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT), which provide officers training to recognize mental illness and de-escalate crises. It also discusses the role of deinstitutionalization in increasing mentally ill populations within the criminal justice system and various federal initiatives to advance collaborative approaches between law enforcement and mental health professionals.
Criminal behavior among the homeless individuals
1) The documents discuss criminal behavior among homeless individuals, especially those with mental illnesses. Several studies found high rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration among homeless people with mental disorders, ranging from 63.95-90% arrested.
2) Victimization is also common, with rates of 4.4-35% for any victimization and 7.7-28% for violent victimization. Homeless women and those with a history of prior victimization are at even higher risk.
3) One study in rural China found that 10% of individuals with schizophrenia engaged in criminal behavior, with 2% incarcerated and 8% arrested. Homelessness and mental illness contribute to increased criminal behavior.

- 1. Youth Adult Senior 54.8% 400 Dr. Jennifer Lavoie, PhD, Associate Professor, Chair, Department of Criminology, Human and Social Sciences, Wilfrid Laurier University. Jennifer received her PhD (2010) in Forensic Psychology and Law from Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC. Prior to joining Laurier, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto (2010). The research that Jennifer conducts specializes in criminological issues that involve people living with mental illness. Currently, she is the lead investigator on a nationally funded research initiative that examines police service encounters with people living with mental illness. jlavoie@wlu.ca http://wlu.ca/faculty-profiles/hss/jennifer-lavoie.html Study: Exploring Interactions between Police and People with Mental Illness The goal of the study was to examine calls for police service classified as primarily “mental-health related” over a 6 month period (Jan-Jun 2015). A descriptive analysis of client demographics, situational aspects of the call; and the outcomes of police interactions with people in crisis was investigated. This study was approved by the WLU Research Ethics Board (#4122). This study was conducted by Krystle Shore, BA (Western), MA (Wilfrid Laurier University) for her Masters thesis under the supervision of Dr. Lavoie and in partnership with the Brantford Police Service. This project was funded by the Southern Network of Specialized Care. Krystle is currently a PhD Student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Waterloo where she continues to study policing and mental health. Mental health (MH) calls for service over the 6 month period of study. 15.6% of clients were aged 16 or younger. While consistent with the proportion of youth in Canada living with MH issues (15%, CMHA, 2015), this finding highlights early contact with the law due to MH challenges and potential service needs for youth. 9.1% of clients served in MH calls were Aboriginal peoples, suggesting overrepresentation when compared to the 3-4% of persons of Aboriginal ethnicity comprising the city's population. Role of Family 11 Median number of previous client encounters with police, suggesting a high frequency of contact, and demand on police resources. Most MH calls bring the police to the client's home (59.7%). Family members are the most likely people to call police for assistance for a MH call (23.8%). Support on scene was offered by a family member or friend in 44.8% of MH calls. Demographics Outcomes of Police Encounters 59.2% of MHA apprehensions resulted in hospital admission under a Form 1 mandatory 72- hour psychiatric evaluation. Police made an apprehension under the Ontario MHA in over half of MH calls and transported the client to emergency hospital services.
