Police Administration, 11th Edition, is a best-selling textbook that
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). Management functions and
organizational principles are defined and explained while providing an
emphasis on evidence-based policing, diversity principles, and
developing police agencies as learning organizations. A concluding
chapter covers contemporary themes such as community engagement and
collaboration, important issues such as police legitimacy and
predictive policing, and modern management perspectives such as
emotional intelligence and servant leadership. Case studies based on
real-life events invite students to practice managing conflicting
circumstances, and Modern Policing blog posts offer up-to-date news
and breaking developments in the policing world. This book is suitable
for undergraduates studying police management and supervision in the
US and for practitioners seeking promotion to senior management roles.
The ancillaries available include instructor’s manual, test bank,
and lecture slides for faculty and case studies for student use.
