Good for its use,
This review is from: Criminal Justice Organizations: Administration and Management (Hardcover)
While one of the most casually written textbooks ive read, it does convey the necessary material in a way that is understandable and readable. Stojkovic makes the abstract ideas behind these beauracracies, but seems to be lacking information on management and leadership. Although this is mostly a lost cause anyway because leadership is for the most part nonexistent in criminal justice systems. Because of their makeup, these organizations rely on MANAGEMENT tecniques and leadership takes a backseat. Overall a good text, just a little confused.
