在加拿大和其他西方国家，刑事司法系统得到了前所未有的扩张，精神病患者与警察之间的接触也有了很好的记录。加拿大警方，特别是不列颠哥伦比亚省的温哥华警方，越来越多地站在精神健康专题讨论和监管的最前沿。借鉴批评话语分析，本文探讨了这一说法，通过案例研究的四个温哥华警察局（VPD）的政策报告“温哥华的心理健康危机”，从2008年至2013年，其中包括行动建议。分析的是VPD的作用，在一个城市空间的心理健康问题的框架。这项研究是第一次分析，以批判性地研究VPD报告的精神健康在温哥华，不列颠哥伦比亚省的报告再现负面话语去机构化，精神疾病和精神病，可能会导致进一步的耻辱和歧视的人与精神疾病。警务报告被广泛借鉴，因此批判性分析对加拿大内外的决策者和公共卫生专业人员特别重要。
In Canada and other western nations there has been an unprecedented expansion of criminal justice systems and a well documented increase of contact between people with mental illness and the police. Canadian police, especially in Vancouver, British Columbia, have been increasingly at the forefront of discourse and regulation specific to mental health. Drawing on critical discourse analysis, this paper explores this claim through a case study of four Vancouver Police Department (VPD) policy reports on “Vancouver’s mental health crisis” from 2008–2013, which include recommendations for action. Analyzed is the VPD’s role in framing issues of mental health in one urban space. This study is the first analysis to critically examine the VPD reports on mental health in Vancouver, B.C. The reports reproduce negative discourses about deinstitutionalization, mental illness and dangerousness that may contribute to further stigma and discrimination of persons with mental illness. Policing reports are widely drawn upon, thus critical analyses are particularly significant for policy makers and public health professionals in and outside of Canada.
