Police officers are the backbone of society, law and order. But behind the badge, there is a human being who experiences stress, emotional distress and psychological problems. The purpose of this textbook is to fill the gap between the demands on police officers and their psychological experiences.
The intention of this textbook is to provide students, teachers and the public with an overview of the discipline of police psychology, with particular attention paid to stress, burnout, anger, coping and emotional well-being. The information is drawn from empirical studies of police officers which has been re-written in childrens’ terms to make it understandable to 12th grade psychology students.
Each chapter aims to teach students the role of psychology in the workplace, the role of emotions in behavior and how to build psychological resilience through education and awareness. It is also designed to emphasise the role of communication, professionalism, ethics and community relations.
I hope this book motivates students to see the important contribution of psychology in society and inspires future researchers, counselors and professionals to help improve the psychological health of our police officers.
