Shows that the myth that mental illness is strongly linked to violence makes us all less safe

Mass 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 (lacking empathy, gun access, hate group membership). These risk factors need to be incorporated more fully into public policies around public safety. Priority is needed to focus on strategies for reducing the viability and acceptability of violence as a choice, which regards violence- defining risk factors necessary to every violent act.

Violence and Mental Illness: Rethinking Risk Factors and Enhancing Public Safety offers a robust challenge to the inappropriate dominance of mental illness in discussions of mass violence, as well as proposed solutions that may be crucial to bringing about a greater degree of public safety.
