This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Element we build on our previous work conceptualizing a craft learning model for governing police discretion. We envision a model for harnessing patrol officers' craft knowledge and skills, learned through experience handling similar street-level encounters over time, to the development of standards for evaluating the quality of their decision-making. To clarify the logic of this model and its potential for police reform, we situate it within the context of other systems of discretion control, including law, bureaucracy, science, and the community. We also consider obstacles. We conclude that police organizations need to balance the different strategies for channeling and controlling discretion toward the goal of advancing more transparent and principled decision-making. The challenge is finding a balance that helps prevent arbitrary, pernicious, or uncompromising uses of police authority, but that also empowers and rewards officers for using the skills of perception and resourcefulness that contribute to wise judgment.

Book excerpt: This text outlines the development, writing, and implementation of policies for law enforcement agencies. Chapter 1 discusses the key concepts of policy foundation laid by the United States Constitution, the impact of the civil rights statute, the role of law enforcement in society, and the role of policies in a law enforcement agency. Chapter 2 presents the policy implications of three cases affecting policy: Monell v. Dept. of Social Services of the City of New York, Canton v. Harris, and Tennessee v. Garner. Chapter 3 discusses proactive reviews of current agency operations, specific areas where policies are needed, steps for identifying additional areas needing policies, and the importance of documentation. Chapter 4 outlines the development process: compiling a list of preliminary needs, available resources for policy development, and putting together a policy development plan. Chapter 5, Developing Policy, focuses on the agenda for the initial meeting of the resource group, assigning and conducting research on policy issues, makings decisions based on research, the individual components required of all policies, and identifying the additional components of a particular policy should have. Chapters 6 and 7 highlight the writing and review of a draft policy. Key concepts are writing for the correct target audience, possible formats, and the initial review. Chapters 8 and 9 focus on the training and enforcement of policy with emphasis on policy certification and re-certification. Chapter 10 discusses feedback, the role of an Agency Risk Manager, and acting on policy feedback. Chapter 11 presents key concepts of litigation: the importance of documentation, a general plan to defend against lawsuits, planning measures to take when a lawsuit is likely, steps to take upon being notified of a lawsuit, and what to do once a case is over.

Book excerpt: Synthesizes the empirical literature on organizationalstructuring to answer the question of how organizations structure themselves --how they resolve needed coordination and division of labor. Organizationalstructuring is defined as the sum total of the ways in which an organizationdivides and coordinates its labor into distinct tasks. Further analysis of theresearch literature is neededin order to builda conceptualframework that will fill in the significant gap left by not connecting adescription of structure to its context: how an organization actuallyfunctions. The results of the synthesis are five basic configurations (the SimpleStructure, the Machine Bureaucracy, the Professional Bureaucracy, theDivisionalized Form, and the Adhocracy) that serve as the fundamental elementsof structure in an organization. Five basic parts of the contemporaryorganization (the operating core, the strategic apex, the middle line, thetechnostructure, and the support staff), and five theories of how it functions(i.e., as a system characterized by formal authority, regulated flows, informalcommunication, work constellations, and ad hoc decision processes) aretheorized. Organizations function in complex and varying ways, due to differing flows -including flows of authority, work material, information, and decisionprocesses. These flows depend on the age, size, and environment of theorganization; additionally, technology plays a key role because of itsimportance in structuring the operating core. Finally, design parameters aredescribed - based on the above five basic parts and five theories - that areused as a means of coordination and division of labor in designingorganizational structures, in order to establish stable patterns of behavior.(CJC).

This book was released on 1967 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenness offenses, gun control, science and technology, and research as an instrument for reform. Significant data were generated by the Commission's National Survey of Criminal Victims, the first of its kind conducted on such a scope. The survey found that not only do Americans experience far more crime than they report to the police, but they talk about crime and the reports of crime engender such fear among citizens that the basic quality of life of many Americans has eroded. The core conclusion of the Commission, however, is that a significant reduction in crime can be achieved if the Commission's recommendations (some 200) are implemented. The recommendations call for a cooperative attack on crime by the Federal Government, the States, the counties, the cities, civic organizations, religious institutions, business groups, and individual citizens. They propose basic changes in the operations of police, schools, prosecutors, employment agencies, defenders, social workers, prisons, housing authorities, and probation and parole officers.
