Criminal justice organizations play an important part in our society. Law enforcement agencies, correctional institutions, judicial officials, and operational support systems ensure that the laws that are established by the legislature will be enforced. However, history has shown us that managing these organizations is extremely difficult. Many of these difficulties have manifested through organizational cultural problems, lack of communication amongst the ranks, toxic leadership, and poor community relations. In this course, we will examine how criminal justice organizations are managed and how these organizations are viewed by the public. We will also investigate some important historical events that have occurred in our criminal justice system and how these events were perceived by the public. The goal of this course is to understand how our criminal justice system is structured and the many processes involved with managing personnel. This course is designed to examine how organizational management reacts to various situations and the impact that their decisions have on the agency. Various journals and videos will be presented throughout the course as a means of supporting the concepts found in the corresponding chapters of the assigned text.
