正在全国各地启动改善警察与精神病患者互动的方案。为了评估这种干预措施对这一人群的影响，我们必须首先了解消费者自己如何经历警察遭遇的各个方面。本研究以程序正义理论为敏感性分析框架，采用半结构式深度访谈法，探讨20名精神病患者在67次与警察遭遇中的经验。虽然与会者以各种方式与警方接触，但出现了两个主题。首先，他们感到脆弱并害怕警察，其次，警察对待他们的方式很重要。研究结果阐述了程序正义理论的维度，并为警察实践和心理健康服务提供了信息。
Programs to improve police interactions with persons with mental illness are being initiated across the country. In order to assess the impact of such interventions with this population, we must first understand the dimensions of how police encounters are experienced by consumers themselves. Using procedural justice theory as a sensitizing framework, we used in-depth semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of twenty persons with mental illness in 67 encounters with police. While participants came into contact with police in a variety of ways, two main themes emerged. First, they feel vulnerable and fearful of police, and second, the way police treated them mattered. Findings elaborate on dimensions of procedural justice theory and are informative for police practice and mental health services.
