THIS PAPER ANALYZES CRIMINOLOGISTS AS SHAPERS OF MODERN BUREAUCRACY THROUGH EDUCATIVE COMMUNICATION.
Abstract
THE DILEMMAS FACED BY THIS BUREAUCRACY INCLUDE CHOICES BETWEEN DEPENDENCY ON THE MANDATE AND LEGAL AUTHORIZATIONS OR HIGHER CREATIVITY AND RISK OF ABUSE OF POWER; BETWEEN PROVIDING THE MASSES WITH WHAT THEY WANT (EVEN IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE DANGEROUS) OR OPPOSING THE PEOPLE AND DOING WHAT IS BELIEVED APPROPRIATE; AND BETWEEN ALWAYS REFLECTING THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE OR LEADING THEM. REFERENCES ARE INCLUDED.
