More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"The greatest strengths of this text are its progressive approach, the manner in which controversial issues are addressed, and the inclusion of practical data such as officer deployment plans, budgets, and training curricula." — John Race, University of Pittsburgh
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
For courses in Police Administration and Management.
Proactive Police Management is widely used throughout criminal justice and police science programs because it provides a review of the various approaches to police management using a contemporary and proactive approach. The seventh edition has been extensively revised, including new information on technology, operational and fiscal planning, management styles, training techniques, budgeting methods and national security concerns. It continues to balance planning and communication; theory and practice; and authoritative and participatory leadership approaches–emphasizing a consultative management style that enables all stakeholders to effectively anticipate, prevent and react to crime within their community.

Comprehensive, but dated
11 Jan 2007
Format:Hardcover
In reviewing this work as a required text for my class, several of my classmates commented (and I agreed) that many of the studies cited in this book are dated; numerous cites were from the 1970's and even from pre-1950's. The other theme noticed about this book was that a large majority of the perceptions made by the authors applied to law enforcement organizations from the East coast and although West Coast organizations were mentioned, many of these points seemed dated (again, referring to the first comment).
proactive police management
26 Feb 2011
Format:Hardcover
This book is hard to read, because it is poorly written. There are too many typos. Too many references to studies done in the 60s and 70s. Book is more of a fantasy than a book about management. If I did not need to read this for a promotional exam, I would have never gotten past the fist chapter.

This study guide is complex and boring but was required study material for my husband's department exam.
