Description

This book examines what we know about the phenomenon of suicide by cop and places this behavior in a broader context.

For example, some murder victims (perhaps as many as a quarter) provoke the murderer, to some extent, into killing them-so-called victim-precipitated homicide.

In some cases, it has been suspected that murderers kill and act thereafter in such a way as to provoke the state into executing them.

The authors then examine some of the issues specific to suicide by cop, such as whether there is a racial bias in these acts and what the legal implications are.

Finally, they discuss the process of hostage negotiation (since those involved in suicide by cop often take hostages during the confrontation with police), the need to provide counseling for police officers involved in suicide-by-cop incidents, and how we might reduce the incidence of this behavior.
