Police suicide: risk factors and intervention measures

This title makes a primary and informed contribution to a subject that is under-researched in the UK - the suicide of those who work in the UK police service - by offering an analysis of UK case studies of officers and staff who have either completed suicide or experienced suicide ideation, and referring to the likely prime suicide precipitators in these situations.

This analysis is followed by an examination of literature that discusses general and police-specific suicide.

It then examines intervention measures and support mechanisms that are currently offered to those working in the police service, as well as other measures that might be introduced in the future.
