This source will be helpful when determining the relationship between serious mental illness and violence and understanding the public’s attitude towards people with serious mental illness. The authors of this article analyze the relationship between serious mental illness and gun violence. They provide federal gun policies, along with proposed policies that could potentially create more restrictions to individuals with mental illness. A couple topics addressed by the authors include the effectiveness of gun restrictions policies, how those policies will affect the public’s attitude towards individuals with serious mental illness, and treatment seeking of individuals with mental
illnesses.
McGinty et al. (2014) states, “Future research should prioritize study of how such gun restriction policies influence mental health treatment seeking” (p. 56). In conclusion, there are critical gaps around policies concerning serious mental illness that should be prioritized in the future.

with all the information and references included in it. The article also includes percentages and graphs that make it very understandable of the information inside. This resource provides accurate statistics that are helpful throughout research into the relationship between gun violence
and serious mental illness. Swanson et al. (2015) confirms “Common risk factors for violence can be potentiated by major psychopathology that goes untreated” (p.369). The authors work covers different topics including public perception of violence within mental illness, medical evidence on the relationship between mental illness and violence, federal policies to approach the
restriction of gun violence involving a mentally ill individual, and many more. Although the authors are precise on the information given it is obvious that more epidemiologic research needs
to be conducted to obtain a solution within a range of potential policy approaches. The authors express concern in the gap of knowledge about gun violence and mental illness disorders.
