Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice Management

The anthology Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice Management offers a management perspective on issues related to law enforcement, corrections, and human resources.

The book provides insight into, as well as analysis of, internal and external issues within the criminal justice system. In addition, it gives readers a foundational understanding of the globalization of crime.

The readings in Unit One summarize and interpret the ways in which current issues in the field of criminal justice management impact organizations, personnel, and other stakeholders. This unit also provides analysis and critiques of the criminal justice system service delivery requirements.

In Unit Two, readers identify social and global issues in criminal justice from management’s point of view. They compare and contrast global, community, organizational and individual responses to these issues, and assess the consequences, both intended and unintended, of the criminal justice policies that are developed in response.

Each chapter includes discussion questions and end-of-chapter activities.

Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice Management can be used in courses on criminal justice, police and corrections administration and management.
