Scoping Literature Review

AbstractThe purpose of this scoping literature review was to examine research on police involvement in school mental health crisis response. The search was conducted in PsychInfo, PubMed, and ERIC and initially identified 315 articles. After applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 47 articles remained. Detailed review and data extraction by three independent reviewers resulted in a final article count of nine. Three primary themes were identified across articles: (1) perceptions and consequences of law enforcement presence in schools; (2) the role of school-community partnerships in successful crisis response models; and (3) gaps in research and challenges of implementing and scaling existing models. Though in practice law enforcement officers are often involved in school mental health crisis response, there is limited empirical research supporting this approach. Our review did not return any randomized trials. In the absence of empirical evidence supporting the use of current models, there is a need for research on law enforcement involvement in school crisis response and, more broadly, community-partnered models of responding to student mental health needs.

Police Interactions

In many communities, police are the first and only available responders to mental health crises. Dissatisfaction with this arrangement among all stakeholders, concerns about the criminalization of mental illnesses, and recent evidence that at least one in four people killed in encounters with police have a serious mental illness, have all maintained attention to this issue among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. The scholarship in this area dates back to the 1960s and has examined the nature and characteristics of police interactions with people with mental illnesses and those experiencing mental health crises, police decision making, use of force, and call resolutions. As models of police–mental health collaboration have emerged, the literature describing different models and their implementation and outcomes had grown, as has the literature on police mental health and deescalation training. More recently, researchers have sought to understand the experiences of people with mental needs in these encounters, and the response model preferences of service users and caregivers. While progress has been made in terms of improving the abilities of police officers to respond to mental health crises, a consistent theme across the literature is the lack of adequate mental health resources for people with mental health needs in the community and as options for officers to resolve mental health crises. For the most part, there is a gaping absence of literature exploring race disparities leading up to mental health crises or in police response to them. However, the current Black Lives Matter movement and calls to “defund” police suggest an urgent need to shift responsibility for mental health crisis response away from law enforcement. Government and private nonprofit groups are working to develop frameworks and guidelines for developing capacity in the mental health system to take on the primary responsibility. This work must be done through a race equity lens.

The objective of this study was to explore and learn from relatives&rsquo; experiences about the subjective meanings of crisis and meaningful and efficient crisis support.

The findings indicate that it is crucial to transform the recent knowledge about family and social network involvement in crisis resolution into a new practice. Family and network expect to be treated with reciprocal trust and respect by services, and guidance on how they can help. Least of all they accept discharge to the family without any information or guidance. Neither do they want to be deprived the opportunity to tell their part of the story.</span></em></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-pagination: none;"><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
