Police Administration (9th Edition) – eBook PDF

Cordner’s Police Administration, 9th Edition, (PDF) examines police administration from multiple perspectives: a systems perspective (stressing the interrelatedness among units and organizations); a traditional, structural perspective (management functions, administrative principles, and the importance of written guidelines); a human behavioral viewpoint (the human element in organizations); and a strategic management perspective (communications and information systems, strategies and tactics, performance evaluation, and prevalent and promising approaches to increasing effectiveness of police agencies).

The inclusion of management functions and organizational principles is streamlined while presenting a stronger emphasis on diversity principles and on evolving police agencies as learning organizations. A concluding chapter includes contemporary issues, including community engagement, globalization, collaboration, racial profiling, cybercrime, mass media, terrorism, and homeland security. Case studies based on real-life events invite students to practice handling the conflicting circumstances, and Modern policing blog posts provide news and developments in the policing world.

Police Administration is an invaluable text for criminal justice students, police executives, and instructors. Dr. Gary Cordner provides, with clarity, a comprehensive examination of the fundamental considerations of police work, traditional perspectives, and developing human and strategic management perspectives. Descriptive case studies, thought-provoking discussion questions, and suggested readings strengthen learning.” ― Douglas Knight, Chief of Police, Vandalia, Ohio

Police Administration 9e has become essential for policing academics. Dr. Cordner remains a preeminent specialist in the field of policing and provides a wide degree of expertise as attested by his bio. The current update to Police Administration is a necessity that has developed out of a series of challenges that traditional law enforcement faces in 2016 and beyond. The emphasis of the text provides different perspectives for leading police organizations, through developments in homeland security, community, and problem-oriented policing. These policies are intertwined within discussions on intelligence, information sharing, interagency cooperation, technology, use of social media, and the critical need for improving legitimacy. From a teacher’s perspective, the ebook offers a number of pedagogical opportunities through a series of chapter-specific objectives, broad discussion questions, suggested readings and detailed case studies that enhance student learning.” ― Brandon Kooi, Aurora University
