Policing and Psychology examines the intertwining of the two from three perspectives: external, internal, and systems and law. The external focus is how psychology plays a role in police work, basically how police handle individuals using psychology or who are suffering from a psychological disorder. The internal view focuses on how the individual deals with family, organization, and self with respect to psychological issues. Finally, the systems and law section focuses on the law and mental health, other organizations with a mental health/psychological role, and the courts and corrections' roles regarding psychological issues. This text examines the main aspects of policing and tenets of psychological as they meet in the real world of police work.
