Description
Analyzes the New York City Police Department's (NYPD) high-tech crime fighting strategy, Compstat, and examines 25 years of change and leadership at NYPD, revealing that the Compstat crime control process is not an instant organizational turnaround but instead is the result of a gradual process of organizational change and leadership redirection. Of interest to students of policing and organizational management. Silverman is a professor of law, police science, and criminal justice administration at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
