About this title

Synopsis

Contemporary Issues in Police Psychology addresses several timely topics in modern police psychology. It is written for police officers, those with an interest in policing, and trainers of police (and other) peer support teams. It includes a question-and-answer discussion of issues relevant to police peer support, an enhanced outline of the Police Peer Support Team Training program, an introduction to the innovative concepts of police (physical and psychological) primary danger and secondary danger, and a description of the Make it Safe Police Officer Initiative. Many of the thoughts and insights of Dr. Digliani are equally applicable to those outside of the policing profession.
