This essential text introduces criminal justice students to the topics of stress and wellness in personal and professional pursuits and provides them with the tools they will need to identify the signs of stress in their own lives and the lives of others. Students will be equipped to put words into practice through the development and practice of a personal wellness plan that will help them deal with the inevitable stressors they will experience on the job in the justice system. Written by a criminal justice professor with professional work experience in the field and a community/public health professor with expertise in health and wellness, this text prepares the instructor to discuss stress and its impact on the psychological and physical health of an individual and the process of resiliency-building. Each chapter includes exercises with both academic and real-world applicability that help students draw connections between the lessons and their usefulness for their personal, academic, and professional lives. Resiliency and the Justice Professional is ideal for all students interested in a career in the justice or justice-adjacent fields, at all degree levels, and can be used with students along the continuum of professional involvement — from those not yet employed in the field to veteran professionals seeking to expand their knowledge.

She received bachelor's degrees in psychology and social welfare from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Master of Arts and PhD from Sam Houston State University, and has taught at both Fayetteville State University and Middle Tennessee State University. Her interests include victimology and victim's studies, police-community relations and the problem-oriented police officer, and stress management, with a particular emphasis on helping students to develop their self-care and wellness practices before they enter the workforce so the impact of "the job" is more manageable and their work, and wellness, are supported. Wright has worked as a corrections liaison with incarcerated boys and girls and served for a number of years as a rape crisis hotline counselor, support group facilitator, and emergency room companion for two different victim service agencies. She is the co-author of a textbook on Crime Victimization, currently in its 3rd edition and contributory author to a text on the good and the bad of criminal justice practice.Bethany Wrye, Ph.D, MCHES, is an Associate Professor at Middle Tennessee State University, where she serves as the Interim Chair for the Department of Health and Human Performance.
