Rezensionen

"This book is a compelling and critical interrogation of wellbeing within policing. Drawing on rich ethnographic data, the book problematises what we already know about wellbeing and offers an alternative, novel, and theoretically informed account - a must read for academics and practitioners."

Dr Marisa Silvestri, University of Kent, UK


"At a time when police agencies are facing unprecedented challenges, Dr Ferrill's book is a thoughtful and significant work contributing to the narrative surrounding the well-being of police officers.

Key points concerning our understanding of the complexity of well-being, its role in policing and its structural situation are explored, and the work provides for an alternative view to understanding this important concept. This work will influence academics and police practitioners alike. Highly recommended."

Professor Colin Rogers, The International Centre for Policing and Security, University of South Wales, Australia
