Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history and development of police employee organizations is reviewed, and several of the prominent organizations are described. Police unions, and in particular local police employees associations, are examined, and the processes of interaction with police management are described. Because productivity programs require management/union cooperation, it is important that efficient mechanisms for communication and negotiation be maintained. Examples are presented of how several departments have approached this task. A number of case studies of productivity programs are included. The author concludes that productivity maximization is and will remain an imperative, as will the need for unions and management to reach mutually acceptable policies for achieving it.--Paper by Harry P. Hatry: This report discusses a number of alternatives that have been proposed to improve police crime control productivity measurement.

Download or read book Psychology and Policing written by Neil Brewer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological theory and research have much to contribute to the knowledge and skill bases underlying effective policing. Much of the relevant information, however, is dispersed across a variety of different psychological and criminal justice/policing journals and seldom integrated for those applied psychologists interested in policing issues or for police policymakers/administrators and others working in the criminal justice area who are not familiar with the psychological literature. Designed to accommodate the needs of these different groups, this book addresses both operational policing issues and issues relevant to the improvement of organizational functioning by providing integrative reviews of psychological theory and research that deal with effective policing. It illustrates how the theory and research reviewed are relevant to specific policing practices. These include eyewitness testimony, conflict resolution, changing driver behavior, controlling criminal behavior, effective interviewing, and techniques of face reconstruction. The volume's readable style makes it accessible to a diverse audience including undergraduate and postgraduate students in forensic/organizational/applied psychology, criminal justice, and police science programs, and police administrators and policymakers. It will also interest psychologists whose primary focus includes policing and criminal justice issues. The book should draw attention to the often unrecognized and valuable contribution that mainstream psychology can make to the knowledge base underpinning a wide variety of policing practices.

Download or read book Arrest Convictability as a Measure of Police Performance written by and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report explores arrest quality as a measure of police performance. A small number of officers are responsible for the majority of arrests that end in conviction; however, there is no substantial evidence for attributing variation in officer performance to personal or demographic characteristics. Data were gathered along two different but related lines: first, PROMIS data were examined from seven diverse jurisdictions; secondly, a sample of High Conviction Rate (HCR) and Low Conviction Rate (LCR) officers was surveyed in Manhattan and Washington, D.C. The study found that officers responding to crime calls should be fully aware of the importance of recovering tangible evidence and enlisting the cooperation of persons who have witnessed or know about the crime. HCR officers indicated that they tended to focus greater attention on locating and dealing with witnesses than LCR officers. HCR officers were more willing to use both a direct, factual line of questioning and a psychological, indirect approach; LCR officers preferred the indirect approach. Furthermore, HCR officers reported success in improving witness cooperation by locating additional witnesses in order to create mutual support. The lack of difference in the demographic and attitudinal portions of the interviews rules out policy recommendations in areas such as recruitment, selection, and screening. However, the study recommends that officers receive feedback from the courts in order to improve the quality of their arrests. Study data and 7 notes are provided.

Book excerpt: This 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); and a strategic management perspective (communications and information systems, performance evaluation, strategies and tactics, and prevailing and promising approaches to increasing effectiveness of police agencies). Coverage of management functions and organizational principles is streamlined while providing a stronger emphasis on diversity principles and on developing police agencies as learning organizations. A concluding chapter covers contemporary issues, including community engagement, collaboration, globalization, racial profiling, mass media, cyber crime, terrorism and homeland security. Chapters enhanced with learning objectives, discussion questions, and boxes including information such as the Standards for Law Enforcement Agencies. Case studies with discussion questions provide opportunities for the reader to review real-world situations.

Download or read book Police Educational Characteristics and Curricula written by Larry T. Hoover and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph consists of an examination of the rationale for higher police educational standards, a report of research relevant to the impact of upgrading efforts, a critique of current educational programming, and the explication of a model criminal justice curriculum appropriate for both police and other criminal justice system personnel. Three distinct but related rationales are developed relevant to educational upgrading. The rationales involve police ability to control crime, perform their order maintenance function, and properly exercise discretion. The research reported includes an assessment of current police recruit educational levels: patterns of employment of collegiate recruits; the impact of the Law Enforcement Education Program, police cadet programs, and agency reward programs; the influence of agency characteristics in attracting and retaining collegiate recruits. and the impact of the development of educational programs in law enforcement and criminal justice. An examination of present educational programming postulates several major deficiencies. A model curriculum is proposed which provides a broad theoretical orientation to the entire criminal justice process. The model consists of guidelines for twenty criminal justice courses. Each guideline includes both selected related readings and a content outline.
