Overview
This book examines how today's officers can be guided by principles of professional conduct in eleven areas of law enforcement practice. The author brings over twenty-five years of experience in law enforcement and psychology to the task of defining professionalism and focuses on areas where professional behavior is of the utmost importance. These areas include instilling ethical values, developing professional attitudes and behavior, evaluating models of policing, understanding individual officers, selecting the right candidates, strengthening leadership, interviewing witnesses and suspects in effective ways, assessing the validity of investigative techniques, responding effectively to crime victims, and reacting to mentally ill people in enlightened ways. After examining why mistakes are made in these areas, the author offers concrete suggestions for correcting and/or avoiding these errors. Personal reflection questions throughout the text give. readers the opportunity to internalize the material and develop an appreciation for the complexity of the issues. This is an honest, straightforward book balanced between theory, research, and practical applications.
