作者研究了警察如何评估精神疾病，以及这些评估如何因地点而异。研究人员对一个城市两个警区的15名警官进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，警官根据派遣、间接接触和现场行为观察的信息进行评估。作者还发现，由于不同地点的警官所能获得的信息类型不同，邻里环境影响了评估过程。调查结果表明，有必要提高所有三个信息来源的质量。
The authors examined how police officers assess for mental illnesses and how those assessments vary by location. Researchers conducted semistructured interviews with 15 officers working in two police districts in one city. Findings from the study indicate that officers make assessments based on information from dispatch, collateral contacts, and behavioral observations on the scene. The authors also found that neighborhood context shaped the assessment process due to variations in types of information that were available to officers in different locations. The findings indicate that there is a need to improve the quality of all three sources of information.
