Yatim Case Study

Satisfactory Essays

The recommendation that would have most greatly affected the interaction between police and Yatim would be found on page 90, #34. This recommends that police offices should be trained to recognize and deal with situations regarding people with mental health issues ages 16 and up. I believe that this could have helped the situation end in a non-violent manner. If this recommendation had been in place, the police would have most likely been able to calm Yatim, and with him, the situation. Being able to recognize when one is not mentally sound can enable you to work with their mind frame, find out why they are acting how they are, and then, hopefully, calm them down. By calming Yatim down, Yatim would have been more likely to put away his knife.
