Abstract

The main volume is divided into 14 chapters concerning: (1) the management task; (2) community policing; (3) interpersonal communications; (4) motivation; (5) leadership; (6) discipline; (7) performance appraisal; (8) team-building; (9) coping with organizational life; (10) supervising the difficult employee; (11) internal discipline; (12) labor relations; (13) supervising minorities; and (14) police training as an investment in human resources. The Instructor’s Guide complements the main volume with chapter summaries, chapter outlines, true-or-false questions, multiple-choice questions and discussion topics and questions. The diskette contains the same examination questions but without the answers, so the questions can be printed out and administered to students. The Study Guide contains Learning Objectives and Key Concepts to be considered together with the textbook. Tables, figures, references, case studies, bibliographies, indexes
