警方的遭遇据信对精神病患者和警察特别危险。尽管倡导者、研究人员和警察专业人员普遍关注，但对这些相互作用的细节，包括受伤的发生，知之甚少。在目前的研究中，我们探讨了精神疾病患者和官员的伤害，以确定情境和个人因素预测伤害的程度。调查结果表明，涉及精神病患者的警察呼叫期间受伤的情况并不常见，很少需要医疗照顾。在这些电话中受伤的预测因素与警察与普通民众的遭遇相似。
Police encounters are believed to be particularly dangerous for people with mental illness and police officers. Despite widespread concern among advocates, researchers and police professionals, little is known about the details of these interactions including the occurrence of injuries. In the current study, we explore injuries to people with mental illness and officers to determine the extent to which situational and individual factors predict injuries. Findings suggest that injuries during police calls involving persons with mental illness are infrequent and rarely require medical attention. Predictors of injuries in these calls are similar to those in police encounters with the general population.
