Key Benefit: Justice Administration: Police, Courts, and Corrections Management is a comprehensive and contemporary text that examines relevant facets of, and current topics relating to, criminal justice administration. It is written with a unique, real-world flavor and allows readers to apply their knowledge through “Deliberate and Decide” challenges included in every chapter. The logical organization of the text provides readers with a comfortable flow of information, beginning with a basic examination of the study and scope of justice administration and rights of criminal justice employees, followed by a focus on police, courts, and corrections agencies. It concludes with considerations of ethics, special challenges, financial administration, and technologies. Two appendices contain 28 case studies that challenge readers’ knowledge and their application of related materials. The Eighth Edition has been substantially reorganized and includes updated topics in every chapter as well as new case studies. Key Topics: The Study and Scope of Justice Administration; Organization and Administration: Principles and Practices; Rights of Criminal Justice Employees; Police Organization and Operation; Police Personnel Roles and Functions; Police Issues and Practices; Court Organization and Operation; Court Personnel Roles and Functions; Court Issues and Practices; Corrections Organization and Operation; Corrections Personnel Roles and Functions; Corrections Issues and Practices; Ethical Considerations; Special Challenges: Labor Relations, Liability, and Discipline; Financial Administration; Technologies and Tools: In an Era of Big Data and “the Cloud” Market: Justice Administration is intended for courses in criminal justice administration.
