When it first appeared in 1976, Understanding Human Behavior for Effective Police Work quickly became the foremost guide for the officer on the force and the recruit in the classroom. Today, the new third edition is still the only comprehensive book on the subject. Thoroughly revised and updated, this edition covers important new developments in the field, including the emergence of Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Teams, which help emergency service personnel survive the impact of critical incident stress. This edition also addresses the psychological aspects of proactive police work. In a world ridden by drugs and violence, it is no longer enough merely to respond to incidents. Police forces around the country are being called upon to perform community-based services to reclaim neighborhoods dominated by crime.As in the previous editions, the heart of the book is a virtual catalog—enlivened by vivid case histories—of the kinds of deviant behavior today’s police officer is likely to confront, along with valuable suggestions on identification and management.

This book is invaluable reference for any law enforcement officer or psychologist. Part V Behavioral Aspects of Crisis Situations has very useful information in understanding the behavior aspects behind such things as hostage situations, crowd and riot control, and crisis intervention with victims. Not many books cover these topics as extensive, let alone provide you with useful information that you can take and apply in your daily job. This solid and useful book portrays the essentials components of understanding human behavior and the stresses that police officers face in real situations.

This review is from: Understanding Human Behavior For Effective Police Work: Third Edition (Hardcover)
This is an excellent resource for psychological issues pertaining to Law Enforcement. This book has a tremendous amount of useful info, but where I found it particularly useful was in the section dealing with mob/crowd control dynamics.
