Police Administration 7th Edition, Gary W Cordner


Police Administration 7th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Gary W Cordner and Kathryn E. Scarborough provide thorough overview of what police supervisors and administrators need to know. In addition to detailed coverage of management functions and organizational principles, emphasis is given to diversity principles and developing police agencies as learning organizations.

The text examines police administration from four distinct perspectives: a systems perspective (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 promising approaches to increasing police agency effectiveness).

A concluding chapter covers contemporary issues, including community engagement, collaboration, globalization, racial profiling, mass media, cyber crime, terrorism, and homeland security. This edition includes analysis of timely matters such as technology, the police intelligence function, information sharing, and interagency cooperation, along with important new developments related to today's daunting economic challenges and the widespread adoption of social media.

Each chapter is enhanced with learning objectives, discussion questions, and feature boxes. Six case studies with discussion questions provide opportunities for the reader to review real-world situations. Gary Cordner joined the Department of Criminal Justice at Kutztown University in 2008, after teaching for 21 years at Eastern Kentucky University, including five years as Dean of the College of Justice & Safety.
