Countermeasures for psychological problems of prison police
In recent years, people have paid great attention to the mental health of criminals, which is one of the signs to improve the quality of criminal reform. However, few people pay attention to the mental health of prison police. At present, mental health education is a weak link to be solved urgently, and the mental health of the police is more directly related to the mental health, personality development and transformation of criminals. Without a healthy police force, it is impossible to improve the quality of criminal reform. Recently, a psychological questionnaire survey of police officers in a prison found that many police officers have turned their daily work into monotonous professional duties and seemingly boring repetitive work, lacking the germination of new ideas and thinking about the ultimate goal of educational reform, lacking the awareness and confidence to keep pace with the times, lacking the support of mental health, and serious psychological problems, which have become the bottleneck restricting the construction of the prison police team. Therefore, the psychological problems of prison police are analyzed as follows.
First, the harm caused by psychological problems of prison police
Psychological problems are like "colds", which almost everyone will encounter. According to WHO estimates, 20%-30% people in the world have different degrees of abnormal behavior. According to the data of our country, the proportion of mental disorders in normal people is about 20%. The results of psychological questionnaire survey show that 5 1.23% of police officers have psychological problems, of which 32. 18% have mild psychological disorders, 16.56% have moderate psychological disorders, and 2.49% have constituted psychological diseases. At present, the mental health status of prison police can be seen from this. The survey data show that the police have serious obsessive-compulsive symptoms and inferiority complex, high levels of jealousy and anxiety, and higher tendency of depression and paranoia than the general population. From the gender point of view, female police officers have higher anxiety tendency than male police officers, while male police officers have lower professional stability than female police officers; From the age point of view, the obsessive-compulsive symptoms and somatization tendency of middle-aged and elderly policemen are obvious, and the psychological problems of young policemen are mainly manifested in interpersonal sensitivity and paranoia. These data may be specific and limited. However, there is no doubt that the mental health of the police is not optimistic, and more and more police have psychological problems, which seriously affect their professional behavior and professional experience. Because of the particularity of the police profession, their psychological problems are more hidden and dangerous. The mental health of the police is a necessary prerequisite for the mental health of criminals. Everything the police say and do is a resource for educating and reforming criminals. Almost every criminal will leave a deep psychological impression because of the influence of the police during the reform process. If this problem is not solved, the mental health of criminals will be out of the question, and the psychological harm at the source will not be eliminated. As a result, the harm caused by police interrogation is mainly manifested in the following aspects.
(1) The mentality deviation of the police when they are slightly careless may endanger the life of criminals.
The police are psychologically unhealthy, and the criminals suffer the most. The police's occupational symptoms make them prone to psychological deviation in educational reform, appear anxious and irritable in practical work, are not calm enough, overreact, deal with them simply and rudely, and even punish and scold criminals. Especially when some young policemen find that their ideals conflict with reality, they will soon compromise with reality. When they are anxious and bored, reprimanding and scolding the criminals who are not pleasing to the eye has an immediate effect. However, a slight deviation in the careless mentality of the police may endanger the lives of criminals. This problem has not received the attention it deserves.
(2) The police's job burnout is often accompanied by various psychological deviations, leading to a lack of enterprising spirit.
The unhealthy psychology of the police also hinders their own development. The police face criminals in prison work and do repetitive work. It is really a challenge for the police to overcome their job burnout and keep their dedication and focus on prison work. The police with psychological deviation are likely to rely on their own experience and feelings to deal with the complicated and changeable phenomenon of educational reform. The police's job burnout is often accompanied by various psychological deviations, which leads to a lack of initiative and responsibility. A policeman suffering from "heart disease" is likely to hate his job and treat it with a negative attitude, which will eventually affect the improvement of his work level.
(3) The police are under psychological burden for a long time. If they can't get rid of it in time, they can only sacrifice their health.
The mental health of the police will be damaged. Nowadays, it has become an indisputable accepted saying that police are difficult to do, criminals are difficult to teach and mentality is difficult. With the rapid change of society, the police have to face greater psychological pressure. The role ambiguity, role collision and increased role load brought by the particularity of police profession make them feel unprecedented pressure. The realistic competition and utilitarian needs often make the police hide their true feelings, while the contrast caused by loss and the unsatisfactory result of struggle constantly emerge psychological problems, which endanger the physical and mental health of individuals. In the long-term depression and anxiety, there will be insomnia, loss of appetite, tachycardia, dizziness and other symptoms. Getting together becomes a common disease and affects health. It can be seen that the psychological burden can not be released in time, only at the expense of health.
(D) Psychological imbalance is easy to hurt the harmonious and complementary interpersonal relationship of the police.
The mental health of the police also affects interpersonal relationships. When some policemen encounter setbacks, face contradictions and are under great pressure, the important manifestation of psychological imbalance is their inadaptability in interpersonal relationships, such as blindly pouring out their dissatisfaction, being impatient to listen to other people's suggestions, rejecting suggestions from around them, losing their temper and even showing aggressive behavior. Due to the lack of consciousness and confidence in self-psychological adjustment in interpersonal relationships, once psychological deviation occurs, such as not being good at decompression when anxious and not easy to control when impulsive, it will show a certain degree of interpersonal incompatibility. Such as "solemnity" when talking and communicating, "wishful thinking" when doing things in a hurry, "a mode of thinking" when facing complex situations, and "final decision" on individual education of criminals are all easy to be shown in the words and deeds of some policemen. The root of these problems lies in the psychological deviation formed over time. In modern society, good and harmonious interpersonal relationship is very important. Once frustrated, the harm is self-evident.
