The book on "occupational stress: causes, effects and coping strategies among police personnel" extensively covers the topic on stress, causes of stress, occupational stress, effects of occupational stress and research evidences related to occupational stress and coping strategies of police. Stress is a state of psychological and physiological imbalance resulting from the disparity between situational demand and the individual's ability and motivation to meet those needs. It is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances. Many different things can cause stress - from physical (such as fear of something dangerous) to emotional (such as worry over your family or job). Identifying the causes of stress is often the first step in learning how to reduce one's stress. Occupational stress is stress involving work. According to the current World Health Organization's (WHO) definition, occupational or work-related stress "is the response people may have when presented with work demands and pressures that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities and which challenge their ability to cope".
