Book Synopsis Traumatic Stress in Police Officers by : Douglas Paton
Download or read book Traumatic Stress in Police Officers written by Douglas Paton and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2009 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to demonstrate how adopting a career perspective can provide a more comprehensive conceptualization of traumatic stress processes as they apply to police officers and agencies and provide a framework that can be used to guide research and intervention agenda in ways that reflect the changes that can occur over the course of a police career that can span decades. The book examines the nature and effectiveness of the police role in dealing with adverse events as they unfold within a career perspective. It begins with pre-employment experiences and their implications for operational well-being and concludes with a discussion of the implications of a police career for disengagement or retirement from this role. It draws upon empirical research to provide an evidence-based approach to traumatic stress risk management and well-being in contemporary policing. Based on state-of-the-art research, the book provides a framework that police agencies can use to develop their officers and their organizations in ways that enhance their capability to confront an increasingly uncertain future in ways that maximize the interests of front-line policing. Areas of discussion include incorporation of police trauma into a life-career course perspective; changing context and nature of police work; recruitment, selection, and socialization in the context of critical incident and terrorist work; changing gender balance; training in uncertain times; managing risk and vulnerability; organizational context; family dynamics; inter and intraorganizational teams; health and mental health; consequences of long-term exposure to hazards; and disengagement and retirement. The text will be of significant interest to police organizations and agencies whose officers face a high risk of experiencing disaster and traumatic stress, law enforcement managerial and supervisory personnel, human resource and health and safety professionals, and mental health professionals and consultants. The text will also be relevant to those researching traumatic stress, disaster stress, and emergency management as well as other protective services.

Book Synopsis Psychological Capital by : Eric Murray (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford)
Download or read book Psychological Capital written by Eric Murray (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine what law enforcement leaders report regarding the strategies they used to develop police officer psychological capital (PsyCap) during the pre-traumatic, peri-traumatic, and post-traumatic period of a traumatic incident. Luthans' (2007) PsyCap model consisting of the four domains of hope, efficacy, resiliency, and optimism was used as the study's conceptual framework. The researcher used a qualitative interview case study design and gathered reports from law enforcement leader's strategies and best practices to build PsyCap and mitigate traumatic incident stress. Data from fourteen leaders from various federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies were gathered using an interview guide developed by the investigator. Results showed that law enforcement organizations often do not conduct adequate training to teach law enforcement leaders how to effectively manage police officers who have experienced a traumatic incident. However, when organizations adopt policies and train their leaders in critical incident stress management, these supports help to mitigate the negative impact of traumatic incident stress. In particular, the following leadership strategies were shown to be most effective at managing traumatic incident stress: goal setting and contingency planning; critical thinking, knowledge, motivation, and confidence building; and strategies designed to evaluate, assess, and build resiliency and optimism. Furthermore, this study strongly suggests that law enforcement organizations that adopt pre, peri, and post- traumatic best practice strategies to develop psychological capital helped mitigate traumatic incident stress among police officers. Recommendations for practice are provided and include: consideration of a proactive, multi-tiered training program focused on enhancing officer and leader strategies to build psychological capital; deploying individual and/or organizational surveys to provide feedback on the effectiveness of existing traumatic incident management policies and practices; and creating a culture to mitigate negative stigma associated with officers who may hesitate to seek help after experiencing a traumatic incident. Future research should focus on examining leader strategy effectiveness and best practices to build psychological capital from the officer's perspective.

Book Synopsis TREATING POLICE STRESS by : John M. Madonna
Download or read book TREATING POLICE STRESS written by John M. Madonna and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important work that addresses a very timely issue: police stress and its treatment. Its authors both hold doctoral degrees in education and teach at the university level. In addition, both gentlemen have extensive experience treating police stress. The book begins by tracing the history of the treatment (or lack thereof) of police stress, specifically its treatment by peers. It describes the obstacles peer counselors face and their tactics for addressing them. It goes into detail regarding the types of stress that officers face on the job, and the ways in which these stresses make this work so very different from other jobs. It also provides statistics regarding the high rates of divorce, suicide, illness, and premature death that police are subject to. In these ways, it provides a strong argument supporting the establishment of stress-reduction programs for police. The book also makes it clear that peers are uniquely qualified to do this counseling work; they have “been there” and can gain the respect and trust more easily than an outsider. It recounts instances of successful peer counseling, and it recounts instances of sad failure. The book artfully presents the results of extensive surveys and interviews of the people involved in a large peer counseling program—from both the peers and those they counsel. Perhaps most important, departments and organizations wishing to emulate the work that is profiled will find this to be an invaluable guide.

Book Synopsis Improving Police Response to Persons with Mental Illness by : Thomas Joseph Jurkanin
Download or read book Improving Police Response to Persons with Mental Illness written by Thomas Joseph Jurkanin and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2007 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ghostbusters refrain "Who you gonna call?" typically connotes a lighthearted response to an unusual problem, but in the context of a human being suffering a mental health crisis, the refrain is anything but lighthearted. In an ideal world, "who you gonna call" would be a trained mental health professional. In the real world, the cry for help is usually received by the police. Police respond because there is no one else to assist. Police officers rank mental health crisis situations as far more stressful than crimes in progress. A person, suffering from mental illness is, by definition, not fully rational. Although they are likewise not fully irrational, behavior is unpredictable, and unpredictable behavior for the police is potentially dangerous behavior. As a consequence, outcomes of engagement between law enforcement and mental health consumers are too often tragic. No organization is more concerned about inadequate response than the police themselves. Improving Police Response to Mental Illness provides best practices guidance. A national pool of experts provide both insight and recommendations, ranging from the conceptual, Atypical Situations-Atypical Responses, to the pragmatic, Law Enforcement Training Models. Written specifically for the book, each chapter addresses a given critical component, including social policy, police response alternatives, training, legal constraints, and cooperative agreements with mental health service providers. This is an indispensable volume on the subject of police and mental health and is designed for police practitioners, mental health professionals, and scholars of social policy.

Book Synopsis Crisis Negotiations by : Michael J. McMains
Download or read book Crisis Negotiations written by Michael J. McMains and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crisis Negotiations: Managing Critical Incidents and Hostage Situations in Law Enforcement and Corrections, the sixth edition, is an invaluable resource for mitigating, managing, or responding to high risk negotiation incidents. This revision includes the current research on negotiating high-risk incidents in the classroom and the field. It includes an applied analysis of the value of psychopathology to high-risk perpetrators. It refines the "empirical eclecticism" introduced in the fourth edition to provide a conceptual basis for crisis negotiations. The authors include summary bullet points at the end of each chapter for easy reference when negotiators are in the field and a review of the literature since the last edition appeared. Their discussion of the strategic planning process involved in high-risk negotiation incidents focuses clearly on the critical questions negotiators need to ask themselves about any high-risk incident and provides a practical approach to the psychology of individuals that engage in high-risk incidents. Known as "the bible" to experienced professionals in the field, this sixth edition of Crisis Negotiations is vital for practitioners as well as for criminology, criminal justice or psychology courses in crisis management, applied psychology, and special operations in law enforcement and corrections. Instructors will find it well supported by ancillary materials including discussion questions, slide presentations, and a test bank, as well as case studies and self-assessment quizzes for students, making it easy to develop a first-time course or to integrate it into an existing course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Good policing is not impossible. The reactions that have been associated with stressors are not inevitable. Many officers retire in good physical and emotional health and 100 back on their careers with pleasure. In a situation where stressers have led to maladaptive behavior on the part of individuals or organizations, change is called for. Change must be constant, as social conditions in the world around us vary. The police represent a force for the order necessary for society to function. It is not an easy job, but it is one that is worth doing well."
