Handbook of Police Psychology
Author: Jack KitaeffPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136861696
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
The Handbook of Police Psychology represents the contributions of over thirty police psychologists, all experts in their field, on the core subject matters of police psychology. Police psychology is broadly defined as the application of psychological principles and methods to law enforcement. This growing area includes topics such as screening and hiring of police officers; conducting screening for special squads (e.g., SWAT); fitness-for-duty evaluations; investigations, hostage negotiations; training and consultation, and stress counseling, among others. The book examines the beginnings of police psychology and early influences on the profession such as experimental investigations of psychological testing on police attitude and performance. Influential figures in the field of police psychology are discussed, including the nation’s first full-time police psychologist who served on the Los Angeles Police Department, and the first full-time police officer to earn a doctorate in psychology while still in uniform with the New York Police Department.
Police Psychology Into the 21st Century
Author: Martin I. KurkePublisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1135807361
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 551
Book Description
As we approach the 21st century, there is a discernable shift in policing, from an incident-driven perspective to a proactive problem solving stance often described as "community policing." In this volume a panel of 21 psychologists examine the changing directions in policing and how such changes impact on psychological service delivery and operational support to law enforcement agencies. The book describes existing and emerging means of providing psychological support to the law enforcement community in response to police needs to accommodate new technology, community-oriented problem solving technology, crime prevention, and sensitivity to community social changes. Senior psychologists who are sworn officers, federal agents and civilian employees of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies comprise the team of chapter authors. Their perspectives encompass their collective experience "in the trenches" and in law enforcement management and administrative support roles. They discuss traditional applications of psychology to police selection, training and promotion processes, and in trauma stress management and evaluation of fitness for duty. Concerns related to police diversity and police family issues are also addressed, as are unique aspects of police stress management. Additional chapters are dedicated to establishing psychological service functions that currently are less familiar to police agencies than they are to other government and private sector service recipients. These chapters are devoted to police psychologists as human resource professionals, as human factors experts in accommodating to new technology and to new legal requirements, as organizational behavioral experts, and as strategic planners. This text is recommended reading for two groups: *police and public safety administators whose work takes them--or should take them--into contact with police psychologists; *practicing and would-be police psychologists concerned with the emerging trends in the application of psychology to police and other public safety programs.

Book Description
Public safety work is dangerous, and the link between fitness and remaining injury-free has been well established by research. Designing the Fitness Program examines the physical demands on public safety officers, as well as an array of related health and safety issues. In proposing that each public safety organization implements a fitness program for its personnel, the author provides a variety of options for ensuring that the standards and test regimens adopted by a department are suitable, both in terms of individual members and the roles that they fulfill. His unique, thought-provoking analysis of test protocols will help organizations avoid many of the pitfalls associated with modern labour laws and declaring anyone, weather rehabilitated member or new recruit, fit for duty.Contents: Part 1: Analysis Identifying the problem Standards and legal aspects The labour/management agreement Part II: Design Fitness defined Basic design plan The design matrix Part III: Development Staff and resources Test selection an development Developing the pilot study Part IV: Implementation Conducting the pilot study Part V: Education Standards and statistics Exercise recommendations and training Evaluating the program Part VI: Supplemental programs Work/injury management Wellness Physical performance Appendices.
