Abstract

Changes in mental health service provision in most western countries have been associated with an increasing role of the police in the community management of people with mental health problems, but little is known about how the police perceive this in the UK. The objective of this study was to investigate police officers' views on their roles in dealings with people with mental health problems and with mental health services.
