Long description:

This essential text introduces criminal justice students to the topics of stress and wellness in personal and professional pursuits and provides them with the tools they will need to identify the signs of stress in their own lives and the lives of others. Students will be equipped to put words into practice through the development and practice of a personal wellness plan that will help them deal with the inevitable stressors they will experience on the job in the justice system. 


Written by a criminal justice professor with professional work experience in the field and a community/public health professor with expertise in health and wellness, this text prepares the instructor to discuss stress and its impact on the psychological and physical health of an individual and the process of resiliency-building. Each chapter includes exercises with both academic and real-world applicability that help students draw connections between the lessons and their usefulness for their personal, academic, and professional lives. 


Resiliency and the Justice Professional is ideal for all students interested in a career in the justice or justice-adjacent fields, at all degree levels, and can be used with students along the continuum of professional involvement ? from those not yet employed in the field to veteran professionals seeking to expand their knowledge.
