UOM Crime & Mental Disorders Mental Illnesses and Acts of Violence Discussion

 

In the context of this chapter, and having discussed these issues in class, answer these questions:

  1. Is there a relationship between individuals with serious mental health issues and offenses of violence or victimization, or both?
  2. What are the issues surrounding police use of force and individuals with serious mental illness?
  3. Identify, describe, and discuss the issues of two techniques used by police for de-escalation during a mental health encounter.

Please submit your answer in APA format (cover page, citations, separate reference page) with no more than 3 pages of analysis for a total of 4-5 pages (when including cover and reference pages). However, as I am giving you a break over the Summer, if your sources are entirely from the text & class materials, you do not need citations or references.
