Criminal Justice Management and Leadership: An Anthology

Criminal Justice Management and Leadership: An Anthology provides students with a collection of carefully curated readings designed to well prepare them for a future career within the criminal justice system. The anthology is organized into three units. Unit 1 features a spotlight on the topics of culture and management with readings that address police culture and its impact on organizational change, the evolution of contemporary policing, and organizational influences on police change and intelligence. In Unit 2, the readings feature a variety of perspectives on the manager-police chief relationship, police organization and management, and the history and philosophy of police management. The final unit speaks to establishing leadership with readings that examine change management, leading in criminal justice, and organizational framing of bureaucratic behavior in community corrections. Each unit features and introduction to contextualize the chosen readings and pre-reading questions to inspire reflection. Criminal Justice Management and Leadership is an excellent resource for courses and programs in the discipline.
