Abstract

ALL PARTS OF THE ASSIGNMENT ARE TREATED AS COMPLEX METHODS OF MANAGEMENT WHICH MUST BE PART OF THE PROGRAM OPERATIONS OF ALL CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS. BECAUSE OF THE VARIED AND HIGHLY DECENTRALIZED NATURE OF THESE SYSTEMS THESE THREE ASPECTS OF MANAGEMENT MUST BE ADAPTED TO LOCAL CONDITIONS. ALL THREE ARE DEVELOPING AND EVER CHANGING -- PART OF A CYCLE OF ADMINISTRATION. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOUND DATA SYSTEMS, ON RELIEVING CRIMINAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS OF EXTRANEOUS RESPONSIBILITIES, ON THE VALUE OF RESEARCH, AND UPON DISCIPLINED, LOGICAL FORMULATION OF GOALS, PRIORITIES, AND MEASURES. ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR ACHIEVEMENT OF THESE PURPOSES ARE RECOMMENDED. AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED
