This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic downturn of the past several years has been devastating to local economies and, by extension, their local law enforcement agencies. According to a report by the National Institute of Justice, the United States is currently experiencing the 10th economic decline since World War II (Wiseman 2011). The impact of this downturn will result in a change of how law enforcement services are delivered. As has been discussed by the COPS Office Director, Bernard Melekian, in a series of recent articles published in the Community Policing Dispatch, expectations will not be lowered just because an agency now has fewer officers, or because the budget is limited. Simply doing less while waiting for local budgets to recover to pre-2008 levels is not a viable option. Faced with a dramatic budget contraction, law enforcement leaders need to start identifying different ways to deliver police services and, perhaps more importantly, articulate what the new public safety models will look like to their communities (Melekian 2011a). The effects of the economic downturn on law enforcement agencies may be felt for the next 5-10 years, or worse, permanently. The permanence of this change will be driven not just by the economy, but by the local government officials determining that allocating 30-50 percent of their general fund budgets for public safety costs is no longer a fiscal possibility (Melekian 2011b).

Download or read book Does a Police Department s Budget Affect the Crime Index in Its Jurisdiction written by Johnny F. Borjas and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A society free of crime is deemed peaceful, progressive and safe. However, as time goes by, the economy keeps fluctuating and more often than not public budgeting decisions are made based on narrow financial scopes which lead to unforeseen consequences. Police Departments' budgets have been negatively affected in recent years by these decisions, and as a result, crime rates across the nation keep rising at an alarming rate. Statistics show that over 32,000 gun violence incidents were reported in 2018 alone. Police Departments are now more than ever facing difficult constraints when addressing the rapidly growing crime rates. The lack of necessary resources has rendered Police Departments ineffective in accomplishing their mission of safeguarding life and property. Local governments are required to set aside funds that cater to such issues, but unfortunately cutbacks or reduction of resources limit police personnel from doing their work diligently. Although it is not obvious that budget cuts affect the productivity of police men and women and impact crime rate altogether, it is nevertheless a major contributor affecting the crime index directly. It is here where the research question: "Does a Police Department's Budget Affect the Crime Index in Their Jurisdiction?" becomes pertinent and to some extent vital in the sustainability of a society. The aim of this project is to conduct a research that will demonstrate whether limited resources, in budget and personnel within major Police Departments, have a direct impact in the crime rate of their respective jurisdiction or not. In other words; Does a Police Department's Budget Affect the Crime Index in Its Jurisdiction? The purpose is to shed light on the subject while using secondary information i.e. data, journals and articles by different scholars on the topic, as well as using survey research techniques to provide insight on the issue. This project will be accomplished by using the mixed method research design. It will integrate qualitative and quantitative data collection components in an intertwined capacity. It will integrate surveys, statistical data research, and interviews with experts on the field. It primarily focuses on the Los Angeles Police Department while bringing similitude and contrast with other major law enforcement agencies across the nation. The research methods will be enacted by conducting elite interviews of the command and staff in selected Police Departments via telephone or in person, and also carrying out surveys to collect primary data from command staff, civilian administration, and sworn officers within those departments. Federal, State, and local government budget trends, as well as current and past crime rates and statistics from the Department of Justice on national law enforcement data (focusing on other major police departments across the nation) will be used to corroborate, substantiate, or contrast the data collect.

Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.

Book excerpt: Public budgeting structure, process, legal framework and policy with examples from industrialized and developing countries Public Budgeting in Context examines budgeting at all levels of U.S. government—federal, state, and local—and in a sample of governments around the world. The book assesses the context of public budgeting in these governments, especially the legal foundations for its practice and how the process and final budgets are impacted by governance structures, laws, various budget actors and different branches of government. The author presents focused attention on the influences on government budgets of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, the bureaucracy, the public and the media. In light of worldwide fiscal malaise, especially during and since the Great Recession, this book illustrates the heightened complexity of the budgeting environment that pervades all governments today—industrialized or developing, large or small. For those who like to dive into the details, the book presents numerous examples of public budgeting as practiced and points to the wealth of data available for analyses of the budgetary context and process, budget shares and results regarding virtually any government of interest. Chapters cover the constitutional and statutory provisions for budgeting in selected governments. Budget and policy agenda setting and executive leadership, legislative budget powers and the influence of the judiciary on modern government budgets are exposed. Budget execution requirements of the bureaucracy, the input of customers, clients and citizens to government budgets, and media influences on public budgets and agencies are highlighted. Budget mechanics—budget types, formats, timelines and reforms—are introduced and compared. Taxes and intergovernmental revenues are considered, with predominant tax choices at every level of government in the United States and those in a select, developing country represented. The book introduces an emerging method for investigating the outcomes of government spending—human rights budget analysis—and includes as an example the assessment of budget reform and results of public health spending in one selected government.
