Abstract
This study explores how detainee sex and psychosis relate to the type of police-issued psychiatric-involuntary holds. There were 120 reports (55 with psychosis). Analysis revealed an association between hold type and the psychosis presence, but not a significant association between hold type and detainee sex.
