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.
