The path model was tested with data from 222 parole and probation agents from a western U.S. state,…

The Association Between Organizational Justice and Organizational Trust Among Correctional Staff
This study employed organizational justice theory to examine the influence of employee perceptions of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice on whether employees trust their supervisors and management. Analysis of survey results from 322 employees of a state prison located in the Southern United States indicate that procedural and interactional justice—but not distributive justice—predict employee trust in both supervisors and manage…

Improving Correctional Staff Perceptions of Organizational Justice
The current study explored how three key work environment variables – input into decision-making, instrumental communication, and perceived quality of supervision – affected views of distributive and procedural justice among correctional staff (n= 322) at an unusual Southern prison. Results supported the premise that work environment variables influence the organizational justice perceptions of correctional staff; however, the effects of work env…

Correctional staff are expensive, and they perform the most critical and central duty within the facility: the care and custody of inmates. Improving the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of staff is important, as they have been linked to many salient positive outcomes. We explored whether the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of correctional staff were affected by distributive and procedural justice, the two major dimen…

Criminal justice education in relation to law school expectation: A failure of confidence
This paper discusses the findings from a survey of admissions officers at law schools in the United States. Deans of Admission (N=119) were asked a variety of questions pertaining to how the undergraduate criminal justice major is perceived in relation to the adequacy of the academic preparation it provides for individuals applying and/or currently attending law school. The findings suggest that the criminal justice major is not perceived as adeq…
Focus groups and evaluation of criminal justice programs
In this article we describe an innovative idea for use in evaluating criminal justice programs. After summarizing some concerns related to the measurement of accountability and the program review process, we introduce and discuss the use of focus groups as an assessment tool. Then we present the advantages and disadvantages of focus groups as applied to evaluation of criminal justice programs. We conclude that focus groups can be a valuable asset…

Rates of change for each county variable were calculated and compared to determine: (1) which criminal justice agency benefited the most from increases in funding at the system level, and (2) which branch of the court system had th…
