Criminal Justice Organizations: Administration and Management
The fifth edition of this ambitious collection continues with a representative sample of articles that reflect innovative ways of addressing ongoing issues faced by criminal justice administrators, managers, and employees. Fourteen articles new to this edition address central concerns of how criminal justice organizations function during very difficult times, questioning traditional methods and practices. Examples of the important topics examined in the new articles include: reintegrating offenders, diversity within police organizations, the potential for technology to require greater police accountability and better services, problem-oriented policing as a method of greater control, the "social construction" of juvenile offenders, mental health courts, and wrongful convictions.
This text is a dynamic and practical tool for anyone contemplating a career in criminal justice organizations. It offers well-researched, timely readings that provide foundational knowledge and inspire the foresight to consider all stakeholders when addressing issues confronting criminal justice organizations in our ever-changing world.
