Episode Fifteen - Suicide Within the Police Family

The subject of mental health and suicide is belatedly moving from the shadows into the public conversation.Within policing - a service which by definition is exposes those within it to the extremes of human experience - do the provisions exist to provide adequate support to officers and staff? Do Forces even have aware of the unique risks it's employees are exposed? Do the official statistics even tell an accurate story?The research we are looking at in this episode is called Lives on the Line of Duty: Preventing Suicide Among Police Officers and Staff by Marina Hasan and Lewis Leeming from Leeds Trinity University. It was published in International Journal of Criminology and Policing Education.DOI: https://doi.org/10.70386/ijcpe.v1i1.27To contact A Perspective on Crime follow the link belowhttps://tr.ee/Ymb5yiqRUW Hosted on Acast.
