An inviting text, in an easy-to-read format, Police Administration in Criminal Justice Organizations, explores the Management, Organization, and Structure of Criminal Justice organizations. Weichmann¿s 29 years of Police Department experience, of which 13 were as a Sergeant, enliven the text and are a source of real-world examples and cases. This material has been tested for the past 13 years in Criminal Justice classes with hundreds of students. Topics covered include classic organizational theories, management functions, skills and roles, group dynamics, leadership principles, and decision-making within criminal justice organizations. Ethics, civil liability, training and development, program implementation and the budget process are also addressed in this comprehensive text. Public Administration in Criminal Justice Organizations is supplemented by Lesson Plans and Power Point presentations for Professors.

Public Administration in Criminal Justice Organizations

Social Sciences

Drawn from class lectures tested over the past 13 years, Arthur D. Wiechmann, MA, shares an insider¿s view of the role and responsibilities of the police officer and manager. Wiechmann¿s 29 years as a police officer, 13 of which were as a Sergeant, provide a rich well of experience to draw from and share with readers. This engaging text is filled with examples that bring theory to life, making learning not only palatable but enjoyable and interesting. Weichmann deftly explores complex issues, bringing in applicable research, theory, and experience. There are many points where such case studies can be used for class discussion. Weichmann¿s frank and pragmatic approach to controversial issues models critical thinking for students. Ethics, police culture, racial profiling, and police misconduct are among such topics. In his last chapter, Wiechmann applies his perspective to the Future of Policing, with illuminating results. Written by a College Professor, this book is used as a text in Criminal Justice Programs. Professor Weichmann writes: What this book offers the student that other books of the same topic do not, is a combination of information and experience, presented in an understandable fashion, and which the student is able to transform into knowledge, the ultimate and elusive goal of all educators. The text is easy to read. It is written using down-to-earth language, lacking verbiage which has the sole purpose of raising the credibility of the author, rather than enlightening the student. There is generous use of space, underlining and boldface type, which creates a visual format that helps the student grasp the ideas, rather than intimidating page-after-page of solid text, which usually results in the student losing interest and just reading the words - retaining little. I use humor, tragedy and 29 years of experience as a police officer and police supervisor in the many examples that I provide to make the text entertaining, informative and thought-provoking. I think that this combination will be an effective way of transforming mere information into lasting knowledge. This is the kind of book I would have appreciated when I was a student struggling to understand difficult topics. This is the ultimate "student friendly" textbook. For instructors who are constantly reading evaluations in which students complain about the book, this is the textbook they have been waiting for. ~ Arthur D. Weichmann, December 2007

the 2007 edition of the Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA) journal, editor Mandy Rees brings together more than fifty cutting edge articles on a broad range of current issues in the field. Voice and Gender explores the relationship between vocal expression and gender identity and the norms associated with gendered roles. In the realm of theatre, men are often called upon to play feminine characters (such as Romeo) while women are called upon to play more masculine characters (such as Lady MacBeth). The text questions gender norms and examines how they may inhibit our range of expression. An emphasis is placed on how the performer and instructor might overcome these barriers in taking on a role outside of their own gender identity. Gender remains one of the most misunderstood and divisive facets of human nature. Voice and Gender challenges readers to reexamine the way they hear, perceive, and express the concept of gender and sexual identity within their performance as well as in their own lives. Articles are grouped into the following categories: . Pedagogy and coaching . Vocal Production, Voice Related Movement Studies . Ethics, Standards and Practices . Heightened Text, Verse and Scansion . Private Studio Practice . Voice and Speech Science, Vocal Health . Pronunciation, Phonetics, Linguistics, Dialect/Accent Studies . Singing The book also contains editorials, memorials, letters to the editor, articles, website and book reviews, and selected thesis and dissertation abstracts.
