Assignment:
The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates' initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.
Long-term employees may find themselves motivated by loyalty to their superiors rather than the mission of the organization. This phenomenon seems to be more likely in criminal justice organizations than in private organizations.
What is the inherent factor that causes employees in criminal justice organizations to implement such levels of personal loyalty at the expense of justice? What are the benefits and hazards of such a system of loyalty?
In which arm of criminal justice is this loyalty to superiors most detrimental to the system? Why?
As a leader, what changes would you make to ensure that all officers collectively followed the law and remained true to the organization's mission, instead of personally developing their individual system of improving their work environments?
