Resumo:
O Brasil possuía entre 2012 e 2014 aproximadamente 704.231 trabalhadores públicos em defesa social. Apesar da grandiosidade destes números a produção brasileira sobre a relação entre trabalho e saúde para esses profissionais é discreta, o que aumenta o interesse pelo livro organizado por John M. Violanti. O livro conta com 18 colaboradores, bioestatísticos, epidemiologistas, psiquiatras, psicólogos, cardiologista e médico intensivista. O livro tem como principal objetivo chamar atenção para os riscos á saúde menos conhecidos do trabalho policial. O livro está dividido em 11 capítulos, que tratam de fatores de risco no trabalho, disparidades nos indicadores de saúde dos policiais, associação entre trabalho policial e doença cardiovascular, risco de câncer, efeitos do trabalho em turnos sobre a saúde, efeitos dos fatores estressores sobre a saúde das policiais, suicídio policial, síndrome do estresse pós-traumático, resiliência no policiamento e tratamento da síndrome do estresse pós-traumático. Apesar de estar baseado em uma realidade distinta da brasileira, o livro traz importantes contribuições para a organização da atenção à saúde de policiais.
