Criminal Justice Management, 2nd ed.: Theory and Practice in Justice-Centered Organizations

Criminal justice students and practitioners in criminal justice agencies know first-hand the value of effective management; they understand the vital need to develop organizations that meet the expectations of their community members, as well as those of their workers. Employing an innovative, student-friendly approach, this fully-updated second edition of Criminal Justice Management: Theory and Practice in Justice-Centered Organizations examines the complex subjects associated with operating justice-centered agencies. Authors Mary K. Stohr and Peter A. Collins interweave their comprehensive research with humor and personal anecdotes to make the study of criminal justice management accessible – and interesting – to students. Chapter exercises and study questions provide a springboard for lively class discussion, encouraging students to discover relevant applications for these provocative topics.

<li>initiate human relations management practices,</li> <li>develop and maintain strong ethical practices,</li> <li>provide support for the professional development of staff,</li> <li>use proactive, collaborative and shared responsibility forms of leadership,</li> <li>implement evidence-based best practices in agency programming,</li> <li>build strong bridges within an engaged and informed community. </li>
</ul>
With an emphasis on putting theory into practice, Criminal Justice Management is an invaluable resource for the development of efficient, dynamic, and resourceful justice-centered agencies. It is perfect reading for criminal justice students, particularly those looking to enter a career in the criminal justice sector.
