This book delves into methods for coping with stress in a high-stress security environment. The causes and consequences of stress are explored, followed by a comprehensive discussion of coping strategies that can be used by security personnel. A scientifically tested model for coping with stress in a high-stress security environment is presented, indicating the relationship between personality and coping. This is potentially ground-breaking since it explores the relationship between personality and coping in an innovative way. The model provides a simplified visual presentation of the coping process and the flow between stressors, personality, coping strategies, the positive outcomes of coping effectively and the negative consequences of not coping. Both the coping strategies, and the discussion on personality, are applicable to any person working within a stressful environment. The areas of stress and coping in the security environment have not previously been researched in this manner, and this book fills a gap in the theoretical and practical arena of coping in high-stress environments, providing a workable model that can be used in industry.
