Background and Aim: Preservation of the human dignity of people suffering from mental disorders and their families requires that criminal policy measures, criminalization, criminalization and legal and administrative processes of social emergency services be modified. Among the necessary reforms are: Adjusting the judicial mechanism of going to the police station to file a complaint and then obtaining a court order and returning to the police station to submit the order to the police officer. These can be criticized in terms of contradicting the principle of speed and dignity in order to intervene in the crisis of tense behavior of mental patients.
Methods: This research is of a theoretical type, the research method is descriptive and analytical and the method of collecting information is library-based, referring to documents, books and articles.
Ethical Considerations: In all stages of writing the present research, while respecting the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness have been observed.
Results: The social emergency dispatch treatment group includes a nurse, a worker, two human resources to control the patient if necessary and a rescue officer in uniform after the patient's family contacted the social emergency instead of sending an ambulance and a rescue vehicle to the place at the same time with a court order. be dispatched and transfer the person to the hospital in case of relapse of the disease, in addition to preserving the human dignity of the patient and his family, prevent the escalation of the danger to the life of the patient and those around him in sensitive situations of mental stress and physical bullying of the patient, and from the stigma of neuroticism and criminality on the patient and family to be prevented. Reduction of administrative-medical bureaucracy and making the chain of the next judicial process more agile are among other advantages of this proposed solution.
Conclusion: The current long process of transferring high-risk neuroses from home to treatment and care centers, from the perspective of the findings of clinical criminology, requires changing the transfer process and changing the actors in charge of the transfer. Otherwise, the victimization of the social emergency personnel and the patient's family will continue, and the relations between the welfare organization, the judiciary and NAJA in providing clinical-police services in this matter will continue to be confused. |
