Police perceptions and contact among people with mental illnesses
Though studies have surveyed police officers' perceptions of people with mental illnesses (PMI), few have examined perceptions held by PMI regarding the police, and none have compared them with those held by the general population. This study sought to (a) examine perceptions of police held by PMI, (b) compare them to perceptions held by the general population, and (c) explore whether differences between PMI and general population perceptions are…
Community Violence Perpetration and Victimization Among Adults With Mental Illnesses
Objectives. In a large heterogeneous sample of adults with mental illnesses, we examined the 6-month prevalence and nature of community violence perpetration and victimization, as well as associations between these outcomes. Methods. Baseline data were pooled from 5 studies of adults with mental illnesses from across the United States (n = 4480); the studies took place from 1992 to 2007. The MacArthur Community Violence Screening Instrument was a…

The degree of psychological engagement in political campaigns is a key factor influencing participation in U.S. elections. Unfortunately, no resources exist that offer comparable over time survey measures of campaign engagement in the electorate. Results from a diverse array of U.S. public opinion surveys administered from 1952 through 2010 are used to explore trends about interest in elections, attention to campaigns, and enthusiasm for the cand…
