Busted! Police and Public Safety Ethical Decision-Making: What Psychologists, Mental Health Professionals and LE Professionals Need to Know - Paperback

by Stephen F. Curran (Author)

At times thoughtful and other times scathing, this short but compact book is a must-read for those wanting to know "why does this keep happening?" when it comes to police brutality and national police practices. Busted Police and Public Safety Ethical Decision Making is based on the 35+ year career of police and public safety psychologist, Dr. Stephen Curran, whose mantra is "there is no right way to do a wrong thing."Dr. Curran draws from relevant and modern ethical case studies including the likes of the 2013 Wells Fargo scandal and the abusive Baltimore Police Gun Trace Task Force to highlight the importance of modern ethical decision making and the lack of ethical decisions being made nationally. The reader is empowered with new vocabulary, like the importance of pre-employment psychological screenings, fitness for duty evaluations (FFDE), mental health resources, and the inside workings of public safety psychological practices.His self-published book is a timely read and harkens to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle - Dr. Curran's goal is to educate and inform the reader so they can be a catalyst for public safety reform.
