Produktbeschreibung
The study of police stress is certainly not a new development or phenomenon to police science. What has been overlooked in a compilation of stress studies is the effects of a unique set of stressors on police officers that work in smaller communities.

Police Stress in Small Town USA takes a practical as well as academic exploration into several police agencies and the atypical stressors that they face. The results of tolerating these conditions can result in high turnover, burnout and far too often, suicide.
