Management and Supervision in Law Enforcement

by Kären Matison Hess, Christine Hess Orthmann, Shaun E. LaDue

MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION IN LAW ENFORCEMENT is a practical and straightforward book that focuses on law enforcement managers and supervisors, their jobs, and the complicated interrelationships between members of the law enforcement team and the communities they serve. The seventh edition has an increased emphasis on leadership and has been reorganized to begin with a general overview of the policing profession, thereby providing context for later discussions of the role of managers within the field. The text focuses on post-9/11 policing and includes research on the effects of 9/11 as well as discussion of data-driven policing (including CompStat policing), intelligence-led policing, evidence-based policing, and predictive policing. A new ""Ethical Dilemma"" boxed feature challenges students to think critically about the ""gray"" moral issues faced by supervisors every day. MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, 7th Edition, presents a comprehensive overview of the responsibilities of law enforcement leaders, covering relevant topics ranging from the newest principles in policing to the exciting technological aids changing the face of law enforcement today--preparing readers to become tomorrow’s leaders.
