Police Contact and Health
Fri, Nov 18, 3:30 to 4:50pm, A701, Atrium LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract/Description
Police contact is importantly related to multiple mental and physical health disparities. The papers in this panel examine the links between police contact and health using a diverse range of methodological approaches. Topical areas addressed include perpetual encounters with police specific to Black women, the relationship between police contact and sleep problems, the risks of criminal-legal involvement related to mental health, and anticipatory stress associated with racially motivated police brutality. Results from these papers underscore the importance of addressing police reform as a necessary component of public health efforts, as well as the necessity of conducting further research on disparities driven by police contact.
