Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to synthesize previous empirical research that examined the outcomes of police response models (PRMs) for handling people with mental illness (PWMI). Methods The current study utilized a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess outcomes of all PRMs documented in the available scholarly literature. Results Findings from the meta-analysis revealed that the three main types of PRMs noted in the scholarly literature (e.g., the CIT, co-response models, and other models with reduced training hours) were effective in improving “self-reported changes in officer perception” or “self-reported changes in PWMI perception” outcomes (e.g., attitudes toward PWMI and perceived procedural justice of PWMI) related to police encounters with the mentally ill. However, the PRMs seemed to have little impact on official, “observed officer behavior” outcomes, including reducing arrests and excessive use-of-force. Conclusions PRMs offer a moderately effective solution for processing incidents with PWMI, although the effects of PRMs are different depending on the model implemented and the outcome measures considered.

处理与精神疾病患者接触的警察反应模型的差异：系统评价和荟萃分析

摘要 目的本研究的目的是综合先前的实证研究，这些研究检验了警察反应模型 (PRM) 在处理精神疾病患者 (PWMI) 方面的结果。方法 本研究利用系统评价和荟萃分析来评估现有学术文献中记录的所有 PRM 的结果。结果 荟萃分析的结果表明，学术文献中提到的三种主要类型的 PRM（例如，CIT、共同响应模型和其他减少培训时间的模型）可有效改善“军官自我报告的变化”。感知”或“自我报告的 PWMI 感知变化”结果（例如，对 PWMI 的态度和感知 PWMI 的程序正义）与警察与精神病患者的遭遇有关。然而，PRM 似乎对官方的“观察到的军官行为”结果几乎没有影响，包括减少逮捕和过度使用武力。结论 PRM 为处理 PWMI 事件提供了一种中等有效的解决方案，尽管 PRM 的影响因实施的模型和考虑的结果措施而异。
