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.
The Handbook of Police Psychology features contributions from over
30 leading experts on the core matters of police psychology. The
collection surveys everything from the beginnings of police
psychology and early influences on the profession; to
pre-employment screening, assessment, and evaluation; to clinical
interventions. Alongside original chapters first published in 2011,
this edition features new content on deadly force encounters,
officer resilience training, and police leadership enhancement.

This book presents a scholarly examination of some of the most
popular psychiatric disorders, psychological syndromes, trauma
disorders, addictions, and emotional injury claims in an attempt to
determine if these are merely forms of malingering being used to
achieve financial gain through litigation, or as a means of
escaping criminal or civil responsibility. The book also examines
unreliable and unsubstantiated treatment and assessment methods
used by the mental health industry which find their way into the
courtroom. There has been a significant amount of research (and
anecdotal evidence) recently presented in the scientific literature
regarding many of the above-mentioned topics. In addition, there is
a seemingly neverending parade of legal cases in the media which
are examples of some of the topics of this book (e.g., the Andrea
Yates case and others). What distinguishes this edited book from
others is (1) it does not shy away from confronting the unusual and
even bizarre psychological phenomena which the legal profession
must deal with; (2) it provides a solid theoretical review from
renown psychologists, psychiatrists, and lawyers; (3) it provides
the latest psychological research findings relating to various
questionable disorders and methods; (4) it presents real-life
experiences from the courtroom; and (5) relevant case law is
discussed. This book will be of monumental use to practicing
attorneys and law students, practicing psychologists and
psychiatrists, and students in mental health and criminal justice.
The book will allow for a clear understanding of "syndrome"
evidence, its uses and abuses, malingering, phony and bogus
"diseases" and "addictions," and how patients, clients, and
defendants (as well as psychiatrists, psychologists, and lawyers)
abuse the mental health and legal systems in order to escape
criminal culpability, attain benefits, or make a case.
This is the first book to describe the significant and critical
contributions of Jewish Americans to law enforcement and police
work beginning as early as 1657 in New Amsterdam. It portrays
Jewish American men and women in the police departments of New York
City and Los Angeles, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the
Department of Homeland Security who stepped forward in momentous
times to save the nation from peril. Combining first hand
interviews with penetrating contextual research, this book
illuminates the heroes of the past and present who share a common
Jewish America heritage. Hailed as an invaluable resource, a
special hardcover edition of this book is also available that
includes a Foreword by Dr. Harvey Schlossberg, Associate Professor
of Criminal Justice, St. John's University.
