Mental health-related incidents such as suicide remained relatively stable or declined, counter to claims that mental health-related incidents increased. Simon Fraser University's findings suggest the change in social behaviour that reduced opportunities for crime didn’t have a similar effect on mental-health-related incidents. It also suggests that calls for increased police budgets to respond to expected increases in mental health-related incidents may be unjustified. Instead of increasing policing, the study said, a focus on preventative measures could be key to dealing with mental health issues.
