Summary:
"Many times, the police are the first to respond to an individual in crisis. We've made strides shifting the response from an attitude of control to one of compassion. The additional and difficult task ahead is to bring about systemic change in culture and a concurrent change in attitudes and behaviors. This book serves as a reliable and accessible reference for those intent on bringing change to the vital effort of diversion"-- Provided by publisher.
