I'm not mad the study exists. It's a useful finding. It's the framing of the article I object to. It could just as easily be framed that mental health treatment for men at risk or incarceration improves outcomes and is more cost effective.

At risk of incarceration for what

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Drugs, minor theft, any of the various excuses police use to lock up the homeless and those having a mental health crisis. Lots of options.

Why did you bring homelessness and mental health crises into this? This article has nothing to do with either

I literally posted a quote from the article where it talks about homelessness and untreated mental health.
