While some books about police psychology contain a chapter on the
fitness-for-duty question, this is the first comprehensive
publication focused exclusively on psychological fitness-for-duty
evaluations (FFDEs) for law enforcement personnel. This handbook is
ideal for professionals and for coursework designed to prepare
individuals for careers as police or municipal officials,
psychologists, students, behavioral science specialists, human
rights advocates, and attorneys. A helpful glossary makes the book
even more useful for students and those who do not have extensive
academic or formal training in psychology or public administration.
A Handbook for Psychological Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations in Law
Enforcement describes in detail the mechanics of setting up a
fitness-for-duty methodology and examines the effectiveness of
FFDEs in law enforcement. You'll find clear instructions for
developing a FFDE system from the law enforcement executive's
viewpoint (valuable for attorneys, police psychologists, and civil
service board members as well), and an extensive bibliography with
particular emphasis on laws and cases that provide guidance to
psychological and law enforcement professionals. Several appendices
provide examples of documentation that can be used in the
evaluation process. This book brings you reliable information on:
legal precedents, with a review of legal cases (in language
appropriate for law enforcement executives and psychologists) the
interaction between police culture, psychological assessment, and
therapy federal laws that impact FFDEs, including the HIPAA, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act and
the Fair Credit Reporting Act case law and FFDEs, with emphasis on
civil rights laws, labor issues, professional ethical dilemmas, and
the psychologist as a potential expert witness the proper uses-and
the misuses-of the FFDE approach police departmental civil
liability and the role that the FFDE plays in addressing legal
risks In addition, this book contains a succinct review of
psychological testing (psychometrics), and the technicalities of
employing a professional psychologist to determine the fitness of
commissioned officers. A Handbook for Psychological
Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations in Law Enforcement proposes a model
law that could be used to improve the utility and effectiveness of
FFDEs, and presents a forward-looking discussion of FFDE issues
that may become controversial in the near future.

Suicide terrorism is growing in popularity as an extremely violent
tactic that many terrorist organizations are using to advance their
aims. The modern use of this tactic began in December 1981, has
increased in frequency to over 600 attacks per year, and has spread
to over 30 countries. Fifteen identifiable campaigns account for 98
percent of all suicide attacks. The relatively sudden increase in
this lethal form of terrorism has lead governments, leaders,
scholars, and others to search for answers concerning the causes of
this phenomenon. While most research on suicide terrorism has
focused on the organizational and individual level, the importance
of culture and social systems has been underestimated. Culture
influences people by helping to program the mind of children prior
to the age of 10. This programming includes shared values and norms
of behavior. In a collectivist culture, one that promotes the
interests of the group over the interests of the individual, the
values of loyalty, honor, avoidance of shame, and preferring the
opinions of the group can have significant influence on
individuals' behavior.
