    1. It is true that there are CVI successes. But the literature is far less conclusive than proponents like to claim. In addition to the positive findings, there are many null or mixed results—studies where CVI has no effect on violence, or where it produced beneficial outcomes only in some places but not others, or on some metrics but not others. Some of the most supportive studies rely on weak control groups, comparing treated areas to the rest of a jurisdiction or matching treatment and control neighborhoods without using designs to address unmeasured variables that could drive the differences in outcomes. Reliance on weaker studies when stronger ones show smaller effects is usually a red flag.

    2. The American Psychiatric Association noted that police are also more likely to use excessive force when they interact with unhoused people with mental illness. Even when “well-intentioned law enforcement responders” respond to calls for help, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the situations often escalate due to “the presence of police vehicles and armed officers that generate anxiety.”
    3. Willison’s research found that 22 percent of mayors from over 120 cities station their homelessness staff within police departments. Even among those cities that station homeless outreach teams elsewhere, most still include formal roles for police. Seventy-six percent of homeless outreach teams formally involve the police, per another study she co-published last year.

    1. It is up to me, not the state, what beliefs I adopt, what opinions I voice, or what religion I practice.

      Except not really. Social institutions like school, religion, saluting the flag, etc. socialize us into acceptable thought/behavior. We are free, to an extent, to rebel against these socializations, but rarely without backlash from friends, family, community, etc. See also: Red Scare
