This book explicitly and intentionally uses organizational theory concepts and ideas to examine key issues in the criminal legal realm. Addressing some of the many organizational theories, this volume examines a variety of approaches and theoretical frameworks to explore and explain challenges that are both presented to and faced by the criminal legal system and the individuals served by or working within it.
This volume is divided into two parts: organizational theories and organizational concepts and ideas. Within these parts, individual chapters provide readers with new lenses or frameworks for considering criminal legal organization, including one that involves organizational theoretical explanations for how and why criminal legal organizations and their staff and workers operate in these critically salient spaces.
The book concludes with a chapter that outlines important considerations for anyone seeking to learn or teach organizational theory as a way of explaining or understanding criminal legal organizations. Additional reading suggestions and two sample syllabi are provided.
The book is ideal for criminal justice and criminology undergraduate and graduate students, but is also relevant to individuals considering criminal legal organizations in courses in sociology, law and society, and organizational behavior.

About the Author
Danielle S. Rudes is a Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Sam Houston State University. She is an organizational sociologist/criminologist who uses qualitative methods to explore key questions related to the implementation of organizational change. She first became interested in how organizations worked before graduate school while working in a large restaurant/night-club where the culture was created, institutionalized, and socialized daily. From there, she turned her attention to correctional environments but her interest in both formal and informal organizational processes and perceptions continues today. Her substantive expertise is in institutional and community corrections. Her research considers organizational dynamics among a wide array of people, including prison/jail staff and residents, probation/parole officers and individuals under supervision, and problem-solving court teams and clients. Her work uses several organizational theories and concepts including street-level bureaucracy theory, discretionary decision making, sensemaking, institutional logics, and implementation science. She has taught both undergraduate and graduate-level courses in corrections, reentry, and organizational theory for nearly 20 years.
Jason R. Ingram is a Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Sam Houston State University. He first became interested in organizational theory as a Criminal Justice PhD student at Michigan State University. Here, he developed a cognate area in Industrial and Organizational Psychology that had a significant influence on his approach to research in criminal legal organizations, especially as it relates to police culture. His primary area of research focuses on how police officers’ immediate work environments shape and constrain their cultural views using multilevel theory and methods. Subsequent studies have applied this framework to understand outcomes such as culture strength, officer street-level behaviors, job satisfaction, and supervisory influences. He has also taught graduate-level courses in policing and in organizational theory that incorporate many of the theoretical frameworks and concepts in this book to help students better understand criminal legal organizations.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
