@ptfry.bsky.social also told me after the Dunbar debate that if he was elected, he would promise to screen people in Vancouver rehabs and in Vancouver homeless shelters for ADHD

He wasn't aware of the ADHD crime connection so he said for me to send him info on that which I did #vanpoli #vanelxn

https://adultaddstrengths.com/2011/01/12/adhd-and-crime-ignore-now-jail-later-15-clinical-studies/ Numbers of people with ADHD in jail • 46% of female prisoners in Rhode Island met criteria for childhood ADHD. • Swedish study showed 40% of adult male longer-term prison inmates had ADHD. • The overall prevalence of ADHD in young male prisoners according to DSM-IV was 45% • Half of the male prisoners in Iceland (50%) were found on screening to have met criteria for ADHD in childhood • Studies show that at least 25% of prisoners in the United States have ADHD. • Diagnosable ADHD was found to occur in 25.5% of the adult male inmates, and major depression occurred in 25.5 % of the inmates. A significant relationship between ADHD and depression was found to exist. Rates of arrests and types of crime • Follow up study using arrest records showed significantly more people with ADHD than comparisons had been arrested (47% vS. 24%), convicted (42% vS. 14%), and incarcerated (15% vS. 1%). • Follow up study using arrest records showed people with ADHD had significantly higher rates of felonies and aggressive offenses than non adders • The ADHD symptomatic group had significantly higher rates of total, acquisitive and violent offending than other prisoners, as well as greater regular heroin use. • For violent offending, ADHD symptoms were the strongest predictor followed by alcohol dependence. • Hyperactive subjects had significantly higher juvenile (46% versus 11%) and adult (21% versus 1%) arrest rates. Juvenile and adult incarceration rates were also significantly higher. Childhood conduct problems predicted later criminality,Comorbidities / co-existing conditions of adult ADHD inmates • Women with ADHD were more likely to be inconsistently employed, recently homeless, lifetime incarceration of more than 90 days, current smokers and ever used marijuana regularly • Offenders with ADHD were more likely to report problems with emotional and social functioning and to have higher suicide risk scores • Offenders with ADHD had higher rates of mood, anxiety, psychotic, somatoform, antisocial and borderline personality disorders • The results support prior findings of high ADHD prevalence in prison inmates and suggest that emotional and internalizing abnormalities are prominent problems in this population. Some reasons why people with ADHD commit crimes • It also appears that when individuals with ADHD commit violent crimes, these acts are more likely to be crimes of spontaneous and "reactive" aggression rather than carefully plotted out offenses. Such crimes are generally impulsive acts driven by a provocation or conflict that triggers an outburst. • Those with ADHD also have other triggers for crimes; adolescents and adults with untreated ADHD are often bored, sensation seeking, or simply impulsive, and this combination of attributes leads them to react with poor judgment. A desired item appears, they want it, so they take it • Children with ADHD are struggling with chronic symptoms of inattention, distractibility, hyperactivity, and impulsivity and frequently do not realize this satisfaction. They can become alienated or friendless, and to avoid this outcome, they learn that outlandish behavior can earn them the respect of their peers. To them, negative attention is more desirable than no attention whatsoever, and befriending "bad kids" is preferable to having no friends.https://adultaddstrengths.com/2011/01/12/adhd-and-crime-ignore-now-jail-later-15-clinical-studies/ ADHD medications and crime- inverse correlation • The researchers compared the rates of prescriptions for these psychiatric medications to rates of violent crimes in the United States from 1997-2004 with a statistical regression analysis.[4] They found a significant inverse correlation; that is, as prescriptions went up, violent crimes came down • The researchers stated, "Our evidence suggests that, in particular, sales of new- generation antidepressants and stimulants used to treat ADHD are negatively associated with rates of violent crime." Recommendations • The results underline the need of adequate therapeutic programs for addicted young prison inmates considering ADHD comorbidity, which is associated with additional psychopathology and social problems. • Prisoners should routinely undergo screening for ADHD in order to identify those who would benefit from a comprehensive assessment to determine who may have ADHD and associated problems. • ADHD's presence should alert prison staff that the offender is likely to require more intensive mental health services. • The study recommended extensive school intervention programs for children with ADHD • Development of such intervention programs and evaluating them for efficiency could be dollars well spent in terms of crime and drug abuse averted. • There is an urgent need to treat drug addiction and ADHD symptoms in order to reduce offending among the most persistent offenders. Recently, treatment programmes have been developed for adults with ADHD, heroin and crack cocaine addiction which can be applied to this population. • ADHD is a significant factor relating to both crime and punishment. The condition increases the risk of committing a crime. and once the individual is incarcerated. the

Every recorded Council vote from November 2022 to August 2026, from the City of Vancouver's official council voting records. For most votes, the motion text and, where the minutes name them, who moved and seconded it have been added from the City's official minutes, matched by the City's own vote number. Thirteen people served on Council this term: Christine Boyle and Adriane Carr left, and Lucy Maloney and Sean Orr joined after the April 2025 by-election. Compiled from public council records.

It does not necessarily mean the councillor opposed the underlying project or issue. Council frequently votes on amendments, referrals, timing changes and procedural motions before voting on the final proposal. Read the motion text before interpreting a NO vote.

Where the text is missing, open the meeting page before interpreting a NO vote.What did each councillor initiate? Motions moved and seconded, then the voting record, for every member.

Mamdani has filled 200,000 potholes in 8 months in office.

How many potholes has the guy who is doing #vanelxn ads LYING about fully funding 100 Mental Health Nurses, ABC mayor & police union mega funder on your tax dollars, Ken Sim, filled in during 3 years and 10 months in office?

ON DAY ONE, AN ABC MAJORITY WILL EXPAND THE CAR 87 PROGRAM AND HIRE: 100 NEW POLICE OFFICERS AND 100 NEW MENTAL HEALTH NURSES ABCThe health authority added that these teams collectively employ about 50 staff, which includes nurses, social workers, and Indigenous Cultural Practitioners. The VCH did not clarify how many nurses they’ve hired. In an email to Daily Hive Urbanized, ABC Vancouver said that they’ve fully funded the VPD and Fire Department, as well as 57 mental health workers.
