DISCUSSION OF A PROPOSED CRIMINAL JUSTICE CAREER SYSTEM AND ON THE PARALLEL HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM REQUIRED TO PRODUCE CRIMINAL JUSTICE CAREERISTS AND, ESPECIALLY CORRECTIONS CAREERISTS.
Abstract
THE AUTHOR STRONGLY URGES THAT CORRECTIONAL PERSONNEL BE CONSIDERED AS FALLING INTO TWO CATEGORIES: CAREER GENERALISTS WHO MANAGE THE SYSTEM, SETTING POLICY AND PERFORMING MOST OF THE CLIENT-RELATED TASKS, AND SPECIALIST EMPLOYEES IN ROLES ASSIGNED BY THE GENERALISTS. HE ALSO SUGGESTS AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM GEARED TO PRODUCING THE CAREERISTS. PROTOTYPES FOR THE REQUIRED DIFFERENT KINDS OF HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS ALREADY EXIST, HE STATES, ADDING THAT TODAY'S CORRECTIONAL POLICY-MAKERS CAN AND SHOULD BRING THESE DEVELOPMENTS TOGETHER TO CREATE A CORRECTIONAL CAREER SYSTEM FOR THE FUTURE.
