Details

This compelling Research Handbook presents an overview of the literature on the attitudes and behaviors of criminal justice employees in institutions around the world. Expert contributors examine how work environment variables affect employees in the justice system, provide guidance across a range of key issues and outline a path for future research.

The Handbook addresses the importance of criminal justice employees as an asset to agencies, through their varied roles including protecting public safety through policing, enforcing the law through the courts and keeping the guilty confined or surveilled as corrections. Expert contributors highlight how past and current research has established guidance for institution administrators across the globe to respond to employee behaviors, maintain a positive work environment, retain staff and improve safety.

A valuable resource for students and academics in criminology, management and sociology, the Research Handbook on Criminal Justice Employees is also an imperative read for criminal justice administrators.
