Police psychology has become an integral part of present-day police agencies, providing support in the areas of personnel assessment, individual and organisational intervention, consultation, and operational assistance. Research-based resources contribute to those efforts by shedding light on best practices, identifying recent research and developments, and calling attention to important challenges and growth areas that remain.Police Psychology and Its Growing Impact on Modern Law Enforcement emphasises key elements of police psychology as it relates to current issues and challenges in law enforcement and police agencies. Focusing on topics relevant to assessment and evaluation of applicants and incumbent officers, clinical intervention and prevention, employee wellness and support, operational consultation, and emerging trends and developments, this edited publication is an essential reference source for practising police psychologists, researchers, graduate-level students, and law enforcement executives.
