Abstract:
The stress on Management By Objectives, particularly the emphasis on achieving the unattainable goal of reducing the crime rates or recidivism, has led to several ineffectual administrative styles in criminal justice. The author describes these phenomena and traces their causes. In all cases, the suggested remedy is to shift from the struggle to reduce crime rates or recidivism and to focus on effective performance of necessary immediate tasks.
