This book, as part of a two volume set, provides a broad overview of the current state of research on conflict management in law enforcement contexts globally, with a focus on contemporary challenges and opportunities in policing globally and ethical considerations. They cover a wide range of interactions between police and the public. This volume (I) focusses on the challenges and opportunities, examining topics such as police legitimacy, police culture, violence, mental health, community relations and crisis situations. Volume II focusses on police training and education and the learning settings needed for police to professionally tackle contemporary challenges. These books bring together leading research that is determining the state of the art in communication, de-escalation, use of force, and other contemporary issues in policing, with practical Key Takeaways in each chapter. They broaden the field by focussing on research which goes beyond the US, including in Scandinavia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, the Republic of South Africa and Russia.
