This book explores the relationship between policing and mental
health. Police services around the world are innovating at pace in
order to develop solutions to the problems presented, and popular
models are being shared internationally. Nevertheless, disparities
and perceptions of unfairness remain commonplace. Innovations
remain poorly funded and largely unproven. Drawing together the
insights of eminent academics in the UK, the US, Australia and
South Africa, the edited collection evaluates the condition of
mental health and policing as an interlocked policy area,
uncovering and addressing a number of key issues which are shaping
police responses to mental health. Due to a relative lack of
academic texts pertaining to developments in England and Wales, the
volume contains a distinct section on relevant policies and
practices. It also includes sections on US and Australian
approaches, focusing on Crisis Intervention Teams (CITs), Mental
Health Intervention Teams (MHITs), stressors and innovations from
Boston in the US to Queensland in Australia. Written in a clear and
direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in
policing, criminology, sociology, mental health, cultural studies,
social theory and those interested in learning about the condition
and trajectory of police responses to mental health.
