Download or read book Death Work written by Vincent E. Henry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating new book, Vincent Henry (a 21-year veteran of the NYPD who recently retired to become a university professor) explores the psychological transformations and adaptations that result from police officers' encounters with death. Police can encounter death frequently in the course of their duties, and these encounters may range from casual contacts with the deaths of others to the most profound and personally consequential confrontations with their own mortality. Using the 'survivor psychology' model as its theoretical base, this insightful and provocative research ventures into a previously unexplored area of police psychology to illuminate and explore the new modes of adaptation, thought, and feeling that result from various types of death encounters in police work. The psychology of survival asserts that the psychological world of the survivor--one who has come in close physical or psychic contact with death but nevertheless managed to live--is characterized by five themes: psychic numbing, death guilt, the death imprint, suspicion of counterfeit nurturance, and the struggle to make meaning. These themes become manifest in the survivor's behavior, permeating his or her lifestyle and worldview. Drawing on extensive interviews with police officers in five nominal categories--rookie officers, patrol sergeants, crime scene technicians, homicide detectives, and officers who survived a mortal combat situation in which an assailant or another officer died--Henry identifies the impact such death encounters have upon the individual, the police organization, and the occupational culture of policing. He has produced a comprehensive and highly textured interpretation of police psychology and police behavior, bolstered by the unique insights that come from his personal experience as an officer, his intimate familiarity with the subtleties and nuances of the police culture's value and belief systems, and his meticulous research and rigorous method. Death Work provides a unique prism through which to view the individual, organizational, and social dynamics of contemporary urban policing. With a foreword by Robert Jay Lifton and a chapter devoted to the local police response to the World Trade Center attacks, Death Work will be of interest to psychologists and criminal justice experts, as well as police officers eager to gain insight into their unique relationship to death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: from Introduction by Neil Armstrong: Charlie Mechem's interests and his background prepared him well for an unusually broad career in law, business, professional sports, and acting as a consultant and advisor to a number of individuals and businesses. For instance, as CEO of the Taft Broadcasting Company, Charlie often held the annual meeting of shareholders at an auditorium inside Taft's Kings Island theme park near Cincinnati, Ohio. Shareholders, along with their invitation to the meeting that arrived in the mail, would receive a ticket to enter the theme park with its many thrill rides and other entertaining attractions. A few people bought one share of the company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, just to get the free ticket to the park. Taft was an entertainment company, and the meeting of shareholders was an opportunity to showcase their talents. Charlie's dynamic speeches, together with music, video, and the help of Yogi Bear and Fred Flintstone, dazzled the shareholder audience. Charlie is a speaker with a touch of genius. At one unusual meeting of senior management and the board of directors where, due to a combination of corporate setbacks and uncertainty, the mood was somber and the faces long. Charlie gave the opening address, spoke candidly and humorously about the challenges faced, turned up the tempo, congratulated all on their great work and the bright future ahead. By the time he finished, the entire gathering was standing and cheering like their team had just won the World Series. In this book you will find much of the magical character of Charlie Mechem through his recollections of a wide variety of individuals and many of the "life lessons" which he learned from them. These people and these experiences became a significant part of Charlie's life and have become etched indelibly into his memory.

Brutus barked a warning and sniffed his guest, as if deciding whether he was friend or foe. Hall's attire was the familiar hunting outfit, except that the knife on his thigh was missing. He looked serious and intense. After shaking hands, Ted invited him in. "Ted, you're in big trouble. I saw that thing. There is no way to defend against it. That damn thing is coming here!" Hall stated. "How? Why?" Ted gasped. "You are the only person I will tell this to, and I'll deny I ever said it, because it would make me sound like three levels of crazy. I met a vampire." Hall looked at Ted, as if expecting him to disbelieve. "Where? When?" Ted asked. "We were camping on that boulder, and it was late at night, when the thing landed there. He specifically wants you. It is really pissed! That damn thing could smell the blood from the sliver of your shirt that I was carrying! He picked up Joe with one hand! Hall exclaimed. "He wants me?" Ted asked. "Yeah.

Download or read book Ted Van Doorn a Memoir written by Ted Van Doorn and published by John Spiers Company. This book was released on 2010 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eyewitness account - Ted Van Doorn was raised in a typical Japanese house-hold (by a Dutch father); was a soldier in the Imperial Army (who silently rooted for an Allied victory); and a prisoner of a Siberian gulag (who later became an employee of the American Occupation forces). Van Doorn vividly recounts a childhood and young adulthood lived in the most turbulent and transformative years of modern Japan's history, from the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, which left 140,000 people dead, to the country's epic involvement in World War II and its uncertain aftermath. Ted van Doorn was well known for his 30 years as founder of Vandor Imports in San Francisco, leading the gift and housewares industry in the USA with design and élan. Even those who knew him well had no idea of his remarkable past, and it was his last act to reveal his earlier life in this memoir.
Download or read book Old School written by Thomas Sommerville and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-04-05 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Sommerville decided he wanted to be a police officer in elementary school when his job as a crossing guard gave him a sense of what it felt like to protect and serve (and wear a cool badge). Of course, his career proved a little more challenging than escorting his fellow classmates across the street. Whether he was breaking up fights, foiling bank robberies, or investigating homicides, Tom treated every crime scene as the most important one he’d ever encountered. And he learned how to use humor—sometimes in the form of outrageous pranks—to cope with seeing humanity at its worst. Covering Tom's forty-five years as a street cop in Detroit and a CSI guy in Arizona, Old School: The Police, the Public, and the Pranks gives readers a rare glimpse inside the world of law enforcement.
Download or read book Chasing Intimacy written by Al Novak and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 5, 1985, Al Novak’s life changed forever—and not just because his wife was a week away from giving birth to their youngest daughter. That was the day he became chaplain at the Genesee County Jail in Michigan and began leading inmates from crime to Christ. Over the next thirty-three years, he helped those bound by sin and by the laws of man to find their way to the Lord. The pivot came after some tough years living in Gladwin, where the author learned not to rely on the mediocre employment he’d occasionally find or the welfare system but God himself. In this memoir, the author explores how he found his way to Christ—even when his fellow police officers seemed less than pleased with his newfound faith. He also looks back at his growing up days living in the Co-Op—families pooling their resources—to his high school adventures and then to marriage and a police career. Al shares his God hunt as he learned to be content with his wages and discovered the unlimited power of prayer. He moved from intimacy to legalism to grace to performing for God but found little spiritual satisfaction until He got a great big hug from God. You’ll be inspired to overcome challenges and find your faith renewed as you learn about the author’s incredible experiences in Chasing Intimacy.
