Problem
Discuss the role of politics in criminal justice organizations. Is politics critical to these organizations, and, if so, how should it be controlled? Is it true, as Norton Long said years ago, that "politics is the lifeblood of administration" in public agencies like criminal justice organizations? Comment on the relevance of power to criminal justice administration and the survival of criminal justice organizations.
