Conflict Management in Law Enforcement

Conflict Management in Law Enforcement, by James Pardy, deals with the identification of stress responses and effective management regarding the parties in conflict, the public at large, and the intervening police officers. The text examines the factors that precipitate conflict or crisis and the problem-solving and intervention techniques available to police officers. The second edition of Conflict Management uses text-based scenarios to introduce students to situations they will encounter in law enforcement. Student involvement through such learning is a safe and effective method of fostering the development of intervention skills essential to law enforcement. The text allows students to apply their knowledge gained throughout their studies to the situation-based learning style of the text.
