| 520 | |a "When newsworthy violence occurs, mental illness is frequently blamed. This overemphasis on mental illness fuels social stigma and cognitive bias that exaggerates the link between violence and mental illness. But science shows this link is weaker than commonly believed and that numerous other risk factors are stronger predictors of violence, such as psychopathy, younger age, being male, access to guns, substance abuse, and anger. Because overemphasizing the role of mental illness leads to underemphasizing the role of these other risk factors, this leads to suboptimal violence prevention policy. Conversely, if the media, policymakers, and the public recognize these stronger, multiple risk factors for violence, then this opens up the door to developing and implementing more effective strategies for evidence-based violence prevention that will lead to greater public safety"-- | ||
| 520 | |a Shows that the myth that mental illness is strongly linked to violence makes us all less safeMass shootings have become a defining issue of our time. Whenever the latest act of newsworthy violence occurs, mental illness is inevitably cited as a preeminent cause by members of the news media and political sphere alike. Violence and Mental Illness: Rethinking Risk Factors and Enhancing Public Safety exposes how mental illness is vastly overemphasized in popular discussion of mass violence, which in turn makes us all less safe.The recurring and intense focus on mental illness in the wake of violent tragedy is fueled by social stigma and cognitive bias, strengthening an exaggerated link between violence and mental illness. Yet as Eric B. Elbogen and Nico Verykoukis clearly and compellingly demonstrate in this book, a wide array of empirical data show that this link is much weaker than commonly believed-numerous other risk factors have been proven to be stronger predictors of violence. In particular, the authors argue that overweighting mental illness means underweighting more robust risk factors, which are external (e.g., poverty, financial strain, inadequate social support), internal (e.g., younger age, anger, substance abuse), or violence-defining (e.g., lacking empathy, gun access, hate group membership). These risk factors need to be taken into consideration when crafting policies that concern public safety, with emphasis on strategies for reducing the viability and acceptability of violence as a choice | ||
