Beschreibung

Stress in policing remains a serious concern for individual officers, their families, their organizations and society at large. As an editor of the Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk series, Ronald J. Burke brings together the latest research findings and intervention strategies, shown to be effective, by an international group of experts.

The contributors comprise of a group of high profile researchers and writers who are experts in their respective fields. This edited collection addresses such issues as:

The increased risk of international terrorism

Racial profiling

Police Culture

Police integrity

Police suicide

Inadequate police training

The work of police officers exposes them to sources of stress that increase several risks in terms of their psychological and physical health, their family relationships, physical injuries, emotional trauma, ambiguity about their roles in society. Shift work, and undercover work add additional burdens to officers and their families. Police work also places risks on the communities in which officers serve in terms of officers being inadequately trained to deal with mentally ill citizens.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'An excellent book detailing the organizational and operational stressors in police work, and the consequences for officers' health and operational effectiveness. A wealth of research findings forms a knowledge base that will inform interventions, policies and procedures to reduce stress in policing.' - Dr Astrid M. Richardsen, Professor of Organizational Psychology, BI Norwegian Business School, Norway

'This is an excellent resource for those with a serious interest in the important topic of stress and policing. It provides a comprehensive overview of this complex area by accomplished scholars, and speaks to paths forward for both academics and practitioners.' - Dr Gene Deszca, Professor of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada

'Job-related stress kills and cripples more police officers than criminals do. As a former cop and current researcher, I think Stress in Policing provides an outstanding and comprehensive review of this critical and timely topic.' - Bryan Vila, Ph.D., Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology, Washington State University, USA
