Coordinating the Criminal Justice System by Leslie J. Smith Pdf

This guide was developed to assist students, professors, executives of local criminal justice systems, and appointed and elected officials of general government to have a better understanding on how the criminal justice system should function. It may also be of special interest to citizens and public officials who sense that more collaboration and coordination is needed to enhance criminal justice decision making which, in turn, will have a positive impact on local criminal justice systems. Leslie J. Smith advocates that the performance of the criminal justice system should be measured in terms of achieving the goals and objectives of each component collectively. Although the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of the U.S. government are constitutionally independent and not required to engage in any coordinated planning activities, these requirements should not lead to poor performance. It is essential to promote positive government through increased collaboration by identifying philosophical principles that will promote the participation of citizens, law enforcement, judiciary, prosecution, corrections, victims, treatment providers, and educators in the development of strategies to prevent, reduce and control crime. There are approximately twenty states throughout the United States that have fostered criminal justice collaborations of this type. The key to accomplishing this objective is effective leadership. This approach is growing in popularity and this book will assist in the further development of this strategy. This guide provides a step-by-step strategy that simplifies the aforementioned issues. It will be especially advantageous for newly appointed criminal coordinators, planners, and others that are charged with creating a hands-on approach to coordinating their local criminal justice processes. Above all, as criminal justice presses forward to the future, the guide will assist in "bridging the gap" between traditional and contemporary approaches to criminal justice plann

Internal organizational communication and structure. How do they effect employees? by Bani Koumachi Pdf

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: Trés Honorable, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University (Fes Saiss), course: Organizational communication, language: English, abstract: This study investigates the type of relationship that exists between internal organizational communication and internal organizational structure and the potential effect they might have on the employees’ level of organizational communication satisfaction in two Moroccan institutions of higher education. Data for the present study are collected from 76 employees who successfully completed the instruments. A mixed-method case study design is used for the collection, the analysis, and the interpretation of data with concurrent triangulation methodology as a research strategy. The quantitative and the qualitative data gathered are described and analyzed using descriptive as well as inferential statistics. The findings indicate that there is a strong negative relationship between internal organizational communication and internal organizational structure. The majority of the respondents are satisfied with communication within the case organizations and use a mixture of formal and informal internal organizational communication as well as an ambidextrous internal organizational structure. The results show that there are also statistical differences among the employees’ level of organizational communication satisfaction based on various demographic variables. An organization’s image is especially critical to its internal audience because employees’ perception of the organization influences their morale, productivity, goal execution, and overall satisfaction. Therefore, organizational leaders must evaluate the most effective ways to ensure that employees have a positive perception of the organization and how they are satisfied with the IOC within the organization. Here comes into play the salience of organization communication satisfaction (henceforth OCS). This can be quite challenging since peoples’ perceptions are influenced by a wide range of factors and personal attributes as researchers have found that internal organizational structure (henceforth IOS), leadership style, decision-making processes, and relationships significantly influence employees’ level of OCS in an organization as well as its effectiveness.
