As an aspiring criminal justice professional, it is crucial to understand how the organizational structure of the police department and its various practices influence its day-to-day functions.
Imagine you are a criminal justice professional who has been asked to participate in an interview with a local newspaper about the practical implications of police theory and practices on its functions of crime prevention and keeping order. The newspaper reporter has provided you with the interview questions so that you can research and prepare your responses ahead of time.
