Psychological theory and research have much to contribute to the
knowledge and skill bases underlying effective policing. Much of
the relevant information, however, is dispersed across a variety of
different psychological and criminal justice/policing journals and
seldom integrated for those applied psychologists interested in
policing issues or for police policymakers/administrators and
others working in the criminal justice area who are not familiar
with the psychological literature.
Designed to accommodate the needs of these different groups, this
book addresses both operational policing issues and issues relevant
to the improvement of organizational functioning by providing
integrative reviews of psychological theory and research that deal
with effective policing. It illustrates how the theory and research
reviewed are relevant to specific policing practices. These include
eyewitness testimony, conflict resolution, changing driver
behavior, controlling criminal behavior, effective interviewing,
and techniques of face reconstruction. The volume's readable style
makes it accessible to a diverse audience including undergraduate
and postgraduate students in forensic/organizational/applied
psychology, criminal justice, and police science programs, and
police administrators and policymakers. It will also interest
psychologists whose primary focus includes policing and criminal
justice issues. The book should draw attention to the often
unrecognized and valuable contribution that mainstream psychology
can make to the knowledge base underpinning a wide variety of
policing practices.
