The goal of this book is to fully explore what the author refers to
as 'the near epidemic levels of suicide and homicide-suicide' among
law enforcement officers, and ultimately to offer recommendations
and best practices with which to better address the problem. The
book begins by discussing suicide in some depth, for one has to
know suicide, unequivocally, to understand a suicidal or
homicidal-suicidal officer. Suicide and homicide-suicide are
complex, multi-determined events - the result of an interplay of
individual, relational, social, cultural and environmental factors.
The complexity of causation necessitates a parallel complexity of
knowledge. There are at least two avenues to understanding: the
nomothetic (general) approach, which deals with generalizations
using empirical, statistical and demographic methods or techniques;
and the idiographic (specific) approach, which typically involves
the intense study of individuals. This book explores both.
Attempting to be mindful of the needs of the office on the street,
the mental health provider, the administrator, the forensic
specialist, and the survivors of these needless tragedies, the
belief is that by amalgamating the concerns of a diverse audience,
we can meet the challenge of identifying at-risk individuals and
situations, and saving lives.
