Police Psychology offers much more than individual interventions in rapid changing scenario in working of law enforcement agencies and police personnel’s. New forms of crime, advanced technologies and community relations are changing the foundations of police work. New tools and a new police strategy are needed – one that goes beyond law enforcement alone or community engagement. Success in these changes will require a transition to new principles of organization of police agencies where psychologists will certainly have a very important role to play. The present book is designed into seven chapters that deal with the role of police psychologists in policing, police culture and subculture, police personality, stress and coping mechanisms, understanding of crime and criminal behaviour; police and public safety psychology, investigative psychology and offender profiling. This book will assist the reader to better understand and overcome the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies and police.
