A Comparative Perspective

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Police performance appraisal is one of the most important components of law enforcement management affecting the quality of the services a department delivers as well as the satisfaction of its employees. This volume employs the comparative case study approach to evaluate systems in police departments in two diverse locales Ankara, Turkey and Toledo, Ohio. The study seeks to determine whether there are any common trends or obvious similarities that transcend national and cultural boundaries. From this information, best practices can be identified to improve the system of any police organization.
