CRIMINAL JUSTICE ADMINISTRATION: THE SEARCH FOR GOAL CONSENSUS
It is a common and widely held belief that criminal justice organizations are expected to provide multiple services to the community. All components of the criminal justice system have multiple goals and functions. Criminal justice organizations see —an agreement regarding purposes. In some cases, these goals contradict one another, and it is difficult to discern the primary direction of the organization. Within police organizations, for example, we not only expect the police to provide community protection but also to maintain community order and respond to multiple calls for service. These calls for service have very little to do with the traditional notion of being a crime fighter.
