在美国，警察暴力越来越被认为是一个公共卫生问题，越来越多的证据表明，警察暴力暴露与广泛的健康和心理健康结果有关。这些关联似乎超出了暴力与心理健康之间的典型关联，并且独立于创伤和暴力暴露的共同发生形式的影响。然而，目前还没有一个理论框架来解释警察暴力对心理健康和疾病的独特贡献，本文旨在找出可能区分警察暴力与其他形式的暴力和创伤暴露的潜在因素，并探讨这种独特的因素组合区分警察暴力与相关风险暴露的可能性。我们确定了8个可能改变这种关系的因素，包括那些增加整体暴露的可能性，增加警察暴力的心理影响，以及阻碍应对或恢复的可能性，在这些因素的基础上，我们提出了一个理论框架，从公众心理健康的角度进一步研究警察暴力。
Police violence has increasingly been recognized as a public health concern in the United States, and accumulating evidence has shown police violence exposure to linked to a broad range of Health and mental health outcomes. These associations appear to extend beyond the typical associations between violence and mental health, and to he independent of the effects of co-occurring forrns of trauma and violence exposure. However, there is no existing theoretical Framework within which we may understand the unique contributions of police violence to mental health and illness.This article aims to identify potential Factors that may distinguish police violence From otherforms of violence and trauma exposure, and to explore the possibility that this unique combination of factors distinguishes police violence From related risk exposures. We identify 8 Factors that may alter this relationship, including those that increase the likelihood of overall exposure, increase the psychological impact of police violence, and impede the possibility of coping or recovery from such exposures.On the basis of these factors, we propose a theoretical framework for the Further study of police violence From a public mental health perspective.
