Integrating the theoretically-framed, empirically-supported content of a traditional textbook and an edited
reader into a single volume, this text/reader exposes readers to original primary works (26 readings) in the field
of organization and management while providing them with a comprehensive review of the field. Organizational Theory
and Behavior in Criminal Justice: A Text/Reader, by Matthew J. Giiblin, covers the field�s core foundational theories
and works, as well as contemporary theories and cutting-edge research. Demonstrating that organizations matter
and that the study of organizations has far-reaching utility, the book applies broader organization and management
principles to a wide range of key entities including police, courts, and corrections, as well as drug traffickers,
sex offender treatment providers, and homeland security agencies. Each of these organizations has a criminal justice
nexus and is discussed alongside the major components of the criminal justice system. From organizational theory
to managing a criminal justice organization, this book is a must-read for anyone pursuing a career in criminal
justice administration.
