Book Hero thinking about your next read

Police Administration, 11th Edition, is a best-selling textbook that examines police administration from multiple perspectives.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Police Administration, 11th Edition, is a best-selling textbook that examines police administration from multiple perspectives: a systems perspective (emphasising the interrelatedness among units and organisations); a traditional, structural perspective (administrative principles, management functions, and the importance of written guidelines); a human behavioural perspective (the human element in organisations); and a strategic management perspective (communications and information systems, performance evaluation, strategies and tactics, and prevailing and promising approaches to increasing the effectiveness of police agencies).

Management functions and organisational principles are defined and explained while providing an emphasis on evidence-based policing, diversity principles, and developing police agencies as learning organisations. A concluding chapter covers contemporary themes such as community engagement and collaboration, important issues such as police legitimacy and predictive policing, and modern management perspectives such as emotional intelligence and servant leadership.

Case studies based on real-life events invite students to practise managing conflicting circumstances, and Modern Policing blog posts offer up-to-date news and breaking developments in the policing world.

This book is suitable for undergraduates studying police management and supervision in the US and for practitioners seeking promotion to senior management roles. The ancillaries available include an instructor’s manual, test bank, and lecture slides for faculty, as well as case studies for student use.
