''A Practical Reference to Religious and Spiritual Diversity for Operational Police'' is a publication of the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA). ==History== The ''National Police Ethnic Advisory Bureau'' conducted a nationwide survey in Australia and identified questions ''operational'' police had regarding religious determined behaviors and their impact on policing (see 1st ed. forward) in 1999. The first edition covered Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish and Sikh faiths with participation of representatives of the various religions. Religion Statistics for National totals and by State and Territories from census 1996 were also included. It was sponsored by a collection of multicultural organizations from across Australia. It offered a two-page summary of the religion, issues on death, gender roles, sensitivity issues (gestures or interactions that cause offence), how to allow the taking of an oath, possible conflicts with religious calendars or events, and dealing with proper behavior at temples and members of its staff. The second edition added Christian, Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander religions and Bahá'í to the list of religions and included data from the 2001 census when published in 2002. Fifty thousand copies were printed and distributed. A third edition was planned for publication in 2006-07 but was still in development in 2009. However, in 2005 a publication along the same lines was produced by the Mäori Pacific Ethnic Services, Office of the Commissioner, for New Zealand Police covering Māori religion, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judiams, and Sikhism. It acknowledged the Australian publication's producers for "…a number of photographs and text on which to base the New Zealand version…". Another edition of the New Zealand document appears to have been published in 2009. The New Zealand edition also had appendices outlining: information from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Treaty of Waitangi and religious freedom, religious affiliations government statistics in New Zealand, and artworks at the Royal New Zealand Police College. In 2010, ANZPAA updated the Practical Reference to Religious and Spiritual Diversity for Operational Police. The Reference "provides police with a greater understanding of religious and spiritual diversity and to enhance services to the community."〔https://www.anzpaa.org.au/upload/pubs/ANZPAA%20-%20Religious%20and%20Spiritual%20Diversity%20Reference%203rd.pdf〕 This third edition has been enhanced, updated and further informed by the feedback received from police jurisdictions, religious communities, individuals and government agencies. New to the third edition: * the inclusion of Maori spirituality (nine spiritualities and religions are now included; the previous edition had eight) * a review of the content so it provides essential information and advice on issues that police should know (i.e. on interviewing, searches, death etc.) * a quick reference table on the most significant operational information * a standard set of questions for all religions * colour-coded tabs to assist with quick reference * a streamlined question/answer format (the answers are all as short and succinct as possible) * different publication formats – a handy pocket card and web version. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Practical Reference to Religious Diversity for Operational Police and Emergency Services」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
