Law enforcement professionals are trained to systematically
approach criminal justice. Few, however, are ever trained
in the world of finance and strategic decision-making, and they
are therefore uncomfortable navigating through the complex
world of organizational budgeting and planning. Doss, Sumrall,
and Jones have tackled this gap in traditional criminal justice
education with Strategic Finance for Criminal Justice
Organizations.
The authors bring a strategic management approach to
criminal justice organizations. In particular, this book provides a quantitative analysis of the strategic attributes of financial decisions.
Written for the law enforcement student and professional,
the text demonstrates the use of budgeting techniques and redefines
capital budgeting as a determining factor in the effectiveness
of law enforcement agencies as they fulfill their missions.
