Download or read book POLICE TRAUMA written by John M. Violanti and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The police fight a different kind of war, and the enemy is the police officer's own civilian population: those who engage in crime, social indignity, and inhumane treatment of others. The result for the police officer is both physical and psychological battering, occasionally culminating in the officer sacrificing his or her life to protect others. This book focuses on the psychological impact of police civilian combat. During a police career, the men and women of police agencies are exposed to distressing events that go far beyond the experience of the ordinary citizen, and there is an increased need today to help police officers deal with these traumatic experiences. As police work becomes increasingly complex, this need will grow. Mental health and other professionals need to be made aware of the conditions and precipitants of trauma stress among the police. The goal of this book is to provide that important information. The book's perspective is based on the idea that trauma stress is a product of complex interaction of person, place, situation, support mechanisms, and interventions. To effectively communicate this to the reader, new conceptual and methodological considerations, essays on special groups in policing, and innovative ideas on recovery and treatment of trauma are presented. This information can be used to prevent or minimize trauma stress and to help in establishing improved support and therapeutic measures for police officers. Contributions in the book are from professionals who work with police officers, and in some cases those who are or have been police officers, to provide the reader with different perspectives. Chapters are grouped into three sections: conceptual and methodological issues, special police groups, and recovery and treatment. The book concludes with a discussion of issues and identifies future directions for conceptualization, assessment, intervention, and effective treatment of psychological trauma in policing.

Download or read book Stress Inside Police Departments written by Jon M. Shane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers researchers, police practitioners, and policymakers a platform for organizational reform and an understanding of how the police organization creates stress, which contributes to reduced officer performance. This book, based on an in-depth study exploring the relationship between perceived organizational stressors and police performance, indicates which features of the police organization generate the most stress affecting performance, and provides a model of organizational stress that applies to police agencies. While much stress research portrays the operation of policing as the greatest source of contention among officers, this research shows the ever-present rigid hierarchical design of the police agency to be contributing factor of stress that affects performance. Ideal for scholars, police personnel, and policymakers who are interested in how the police organization contributes to lower officer performance, this book has implications for policing agencies in the United States and worldwide.

Sergeant Monta supervised a patrol squad staffed by Field Training Officers, and was intensely involved in the training of student officers from 1990 to 1997. Monta maintained a curiosity and concern for the actions and feelings of others, always trying to find explanations for the reactions of people in response to their environment. He kept records and notes relating to events that caused significant negative reactions from peers and administratorsareactions that led to stress and morale problems. First and foremost of Sergeant Montaas interests were the causes of job stress, low morale, and burnout in the profession. This manuscript is meant to serve as a textbook that would familiarize prospective and current police officers with one of the most severe hazards of the profession, and offer advice to assist in overcoming this dangerous reality.
Download or read book A Model for Police Officer Burnout written by Alan Mitchell Goodman and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burnout among police officers has expensive consequences, both financially to cities and police departments, as well as emotionally to the officers who are affected by burnout.The purpose of this study was to develop a clear model of police officer burnout that is based on factors occurring to the police officer both before he joined the police force and after he was on the force. Predictor variables included situational factors such as transfers in the department, shootings, and moonlighting. It also included demographic variables such as age and marital status.The subjects were 199 male police officers who were employed by the Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, National City, and Oceanside Police Departments in San Diego County, California. Information was collected from the officers on a demographic questionnaire, the Staff Burnout Scale for Police and Security Officers (SBS-PS), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Form X-2). Each officer completed these three questionnaires and returned them anonymously.The study was divided into two stages. The first stage was designed to identify those predictor variables based on pre-career events that could predict police officer burnout. The second stage was designed to identify those predictor variables based on events occurring during a police officer's career that would be related to an officer who would most likely experience burnout.In the first stage, the results of a multiple regression analysis with stepwise inclusion generated an equation with two predictor variables that accounted for 43 percent of the variance in predicting burnout.In the second stage, the results of a multiple regression analysis with stepwise inclusion generated an equation that identified six predictor variables that accounted for 28 percent of the variance in predicting burnout.The results suggest that a model for police officer burnout can be developed based on pre-career events and events occurring to an officer while he is on the police force.Clinical implications of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Download or read book Do Female Officers Experience Burnout Differently Than Male Officers in the Male Dominated Profession of Law Enforcement written by Krystal Schultz and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Burnout, although not a diagnosable disorder in the DSM-5, has quickly become one of the most discussed topics in health and well-being research of the 21st century. Burnout is the consequence of not successfully dealing with chronic stress from the work place (Kaschka, Korczak, & Broich, 2011). Burnout falls into categories of exhaustion, depersonalization or cynicism, and diminished personal accomplishment or professional efficacy (Schaufeli, Leiter Maslach, & Jackson, 1996). The majority of research that is currently available on burnout looks at effects of burnout on individuals in human service professions, (i.e. teachers, social workers, nurses, and doctors). However, there is a rather significant gap in current research regarding burnout among law enforcement officers, specifically women within law enforcement. The primary aim of this study was to gather updated research looking at whether burnout affects women working in law enforcement differently than male officers and minimize the gap in current literature available. By gathering updated data, this researcher found that there does not appear to be significant differences between female police officers and male officers regarding burnout from non-operational police stressors (i.e., administrative and organizational). However, more than 71% of female officers, and 80% of male officers, met criteria for moderate to high levels of burnout. This research found that there was a statistically significant correlation between a measure of professional quality of life and burnout. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of years on the police force, with females having served fewer years compared to males. Implications of this research include assessing whether different stressors have a differential impact on women versus men in law enforcement and use of different coping strategies and resources used by officers in response to exposure to job stressors.
