ReviewsThis edition includes both historic academic theories on policing and contemporary trends, and weaves in many industry standards to help both students and leaders alike. Dr. Cordner understands policing and police officers, and provides the evolution of policing and a vision of where it is going. This book brings value not only to those who matriculate policing in an academic setting, but those who engage in the noblest of professions. -- Richard W. "Rick" Myers , Chief of Police, Newport News, Virginia and Chair, Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) Dr. Cordner has contributed to police professionalism for over three decades. His latest work demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues impacting the delivery of police service, capturing both historical and contemporary thinking. The challenges and opportunities presented are relevant for current police leaders and those considering the field as a career. He has provided his experiences with a focus on developing the next generation of police professionals. -- W. Craig Hartley, Jr. , Executive Director, Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. Cordner's Police Administration remains one of the strongest texts addressing the challenges and complexities of managing police organizations. The book is richly grounded in history and diverse theoretical perspectives, linking these core ideas with contemporary circumstances. Real life examples and case study vignettes connect academic insights with the actual struggles police executives must negotiate in leading their agencies. -- Joseph Schafer , Southern Illinois University Police Administration is now in its ninth edition--speaking volumes about its enduring value. While comprehensive, Cordner's portrayal and analysis is never tedious. Current issues and trends are not only up-to-date, but placed in appropriate historical context. Each chapter's learning objectives guide the reader to topics of import, and chapter concluding Discussion Questions reinforce reflective thinking. -- Larry T. Hoover , Sam Houston State University Police Administration is an invaluable text for police executives, criminal justice students, and instructors. Dr. Gary Cordner presents, with clarity, a comprehensive examination of the basic considerations of police work, traditional perspectives, and emerging human and strategic management perspectives. Illustrative case studies, thought-provoking discussion questions, and suggested readings reinforce learning. -- Douglas Knight , Chief of Police, Vandalia, Ohio Police Administration(9th Edition) has become a staple for policing academics. Dr. Cordner remains a preeminent expert in the field of policing and offers a wide degree of expertise as attested by his bio. The current update to Police Administrationis a necessity that has evolved out of a series of challenges that traditional law enforcement faces in 2016 and beyond. The focus of the text offers different perspectives for leading police organizations, through developments in homeland security, community and problem-oriented policing. These strategies are interwoven within discussions on intelligence, information sharing, technology, interagency cooperation, use of social media, and the critical need for improving legitimacy. From an instructor's perspective, the text offers a number of pedagogical opportunities through a series of chapter specific objectives, broad discussion questions, suggested readings and specific case studies that enhance student-learning. --Brandon Kooi, Aurora University, This edition includes both historic academic theories on policing and contemporary trends, and weaves in many industry standards to help both students and leaders alike.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition,New Edition

SynopsisThis national best-selling text examines police administration from multiple perspectives: a systems perspective (emphasizing the interrelatedness among units and organizations); a traditional, structural perspective (administrative principles, management functions, and the importance of written guidelines); a human behavioral perspective (the human element in organizations); and a strategic management perspective (communications and information systems, performance evaluation, strategies and tactics, and prevailing and promising approaches to increasing effectiveness of police agencies). Coverage of management functions and organizational principles is streamlined while providing a stronger emphasis on diversity principles and on developing police agencies as learning organizations. A concluding chapter covers contemporary issues, including community engagement, collaboration, globalization, racial profiling, mass media, cybercrime, terrorism and homeland security. Case studies based on real-life events invite students to practice managing the conflicting circumstances, and Modern policing blog posts offer news and developments in the policing world.
