* A Practical Reference to Religious Diversity
'A Practical Reference to Religious Diversity' covers seven major religious faiths including Maori spirituality, Buddhist Faith, Christian Faith, Hindu Faith, Islamic Faith, Jewish Faith, and the Sikh Faith. The book provides information to help police gain basic awareness and understanding of religious diversity. It also explains how religious beliefs and customs may impact on their role as police officers when they are carrying out their duties. Apart from serving as a valuable resource for the police, it is also hoped the book will also contribute towards the development of a cohesive and harmonious society.
