Summary: "The text examines police administration from multiple perspectives: a systems perspective (emphasizing the interrelatedness among units and organizations); a traditional, structural perspective (administrative principles, management functions, and the importance of written guidelines); a human behavioral perspective (the human element in organizations); 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). A concluding chapter covers contemporary issues, including community engagement, globalization, racial profiling, mass media, cybercrime, and homeland security. Case studies based on real-life events invite students to practice managing the conflicting circumstances."--Publisher's description.
