This text makes a primary and informed contribution to a subject that
is under-researched in the UK — the suicide of those who work in the
UK police service — by offering an analysis of UK case studies of
officers and staff who have either completed suicide or experienced
suicide ideation, and referring to the likely prime suicide
precipitators in these situations. This analysis is followed by an
examination of literature that discusses general and police-specific
suicide. The text then examines intervention measures and support
mechanisms that are currently offered to those working in the police
service, as well as other measures that might be introduced in the
future. Designed for criminal justice professionals and affected
laypeople, including the families of those in the police service,
Police Suicide is a crucial text for any who have an interest in the
holistic and psychological welfare of police officers and staff.
