Book Description
This manual contains the standards for reform in the management and operation of the criminal justice system, focusing on planning, education, and information systems. Planning for resource allocation is one of the most important functions that a criminal justice agency performs. The 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act required the creation of state criminal justice planning agencies and the development of annual state comprehensive plans as a contingency for state participation in federal criminal justice funding. In the initial section of this volume, the National Advisory Commission points out the need for additional planning at the metropolitan and regional levels, and indicates the necessity for quantifying performance objectives. It also stresses participation in the planning process by criminal justice agencies, government departments and private citizens. The Commission recommends the development of state integrated multiyear planning and the establishment of criminal justice coordinating councils by all major cities and counties. Other areas of concern to the Commission, in addition to management and budget planning, include systems analysis, information systems, evaluation, personnel training, and criminal code revision. These and other commission proposals appear in the form of specific standards and recommendations -- nearly 70 in all -- that spell out in detail what the segments of the criminal justice system-the police, courts, and correctional agencies can do to upgrade and modernize many of their functions. This manual is a reference work for the practitioner as well as the interested layman.

"Christine Gardiner and Pamela Fiber-Ostrow have succeeded in developing the most comprehensive discussion of the California criminal justice system to date. Contemporary explanations of the California justice system emerge from a strong historical context, providing the reader with a road map of challenges and system responses. This is an important text for any criminal justice student." -- Mary Maguire, Professor and Chair, Division of Criminal Justice California State University, Sacramento "There are many books available on criminal justice in the United States -- but few that look closely and in detail at how the justice system works in specific states. This book provides an indispensable introduction to one of the largest, and most unique, criminal justice systems in America." -- Elliott Currie, Ph.D., Professor of Criminology, Law and Society University of California, Irvine
