Arrested By Our Mind

We celebrate this milestone; however, we recognize that, as authors, we are responsible for providing readers with essential, up-to-date factual material, policy trends, and changes in law enforcement practices, leadership, emotional intelligence, and mental health. For law enforcement practitioners, Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the capacity to effectively and efficiently perceive and process emotions. Emotional Intelligence (EI), by definition, is the ability to motivate and endue oneself despite frustration; to control impulses and postpone satisfaction; to manage feelings and keep trouble from overwhelming the ability to think; to emphasize and to hope-the ability to manage EI abilities with the mindset, personality, and temperament.

In organizational practices, self-control and self-awareness are the difference between an outstanding public administrator and an outstanding organization.

Criminal justice, sociology, psychology, history, law, and political science contribute to our understanding of EI. This cross-fertilization is enriching, yet it requires familiarity with vast literature. This text is structured with a strong focus on coherence, making this interdisciplinary approach comprehensible yet accessible. EI is a system. In our book, the concept of EI serves as a framework for
