To guide the prevention of policing in persons experiencing homelessness and mental illness, we examined police interactions in this population by combining data from At Home/Chez Soi and Montreal police databases (N= 454). We explored the types, initiators, locations, and mental health/judicial outcomes of interactions over four years, identifying sub-groups using latent class analysis and then comparing sociodemographic and psychosocial variables between groups. Four groups emerged: few, mainly as a suspect, diverse, and frequent and diverse interactions. The characteristics of participants with more suspect interactions are described. Grouping suggested the policing of behaviors associated with homelessness and underreporting of victimization.
为指导针对无家可归者和患有精神疾病者的警务预防工作，我们通过整合“在家/在自己家中”项目和蒙特利尔警方数据库的数据（N = 454），研究了警方与这一人群的互动情况。我们探讨了四年间互动的类型、发起者、地点以及心理健康/司法结果，使用潜在类别分析确定亚组，然后比较各亚组之间的社会人口统计学和心理社会变量。出现了四个亚组：极少互动组（主要作为嫌疑人）、多样互动组、频繁且多样互动组。描述了有更多嫌疑人互动的参与者的特征。分组结果表明存在与无家可归相关行为的警务工作以及对受害情况报告不足的情况。
