Rationale

The purpose of this course is to expose the student to introductory concepts in the field of criminal justice management.  It primarily explores the science of management in the three main areas of the field: policing, courts, and corrections.  This is not a “how-to” be a police manager course, but rather a familiarization of the challenges of organization, staffing, and training (including discussion of Civil Rights obligations), and an overview of historical developments of theoretical frameworks and key thinkers related to managerial development.
