Discuss the difficulties in implementing the human service model of employee supervision in criminal justice organizations

What will be an ideal response?


• Criminal justice administrators will face multiple challenges when trying to implement a human service model of employee supervision within criminal justice organizations. These challenges include conflicting goals, competing interests, as well as fiscal and organizational constraints.
• Wilson has shown that criminal justice organizations have had a difficult time dealing with goal conflict, especially when considering the finite resources with which they must deal. He argues that accountability, equity, fiscal integrity, and efficiency serve as possible obstacles to innovation.
• Police organizations that have attempted to reorganize under a community policing philosophy would find enormous difficulties in trying to decentralize their structures while still being sensitive to public accountability and equity among officers.
