THIS MANUAL, PREPARED TO TRAIN LOCAL GOVERNMENT MANAGERS, PRESENTS ARTICLES ON MANAGING INFLATIONARY PRESSURES ON LOCAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS.

Abstract

THE PROBLEM OF INFLATIONARY PRESSURES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS' PROGRAMS IS RELATIVELY RECENT BUT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR YEARS TO COME. MANAGING ORGANIZATIONS AND PROGRAMS DURING PERIODS OF RESOURCE AUSTERITY AND PROGRAM CUTBACKS IS THEREFORE A CRUCIAL PROBLEM FOR GOVERNMENT MANAGERS. THIS VOLUME WAS PREPARED AS A COMPANION TEXT TO BE USED WITH OTHER PRINTED MATERIALS IN REGIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOPS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT MANAGERS. CONTENTS INCLUDE A COMPARATIVE FISCAL ANALYSIS OF 66 U.S. CITIES; A REPORT FROM LOS ANGELES ON PROPOSITION 13; DESCRIPTIONS OF ANTI-INFLATION PROGRAMS DEVELOPED FOR FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BY THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF AND OF VARIOUS ISSUES RELEVANT TO MANAGERS INVOLVED IN CUTBACK MANAGEMENT; AND SEVERAL STUDIES AND COMMENTARIES ON ALTERNATIVES AND IMPACTS OF CUTBACKS ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND ITS MANAGERS, WITH PARTICULAR FOCUS ON CALIFORNIA'S PROPOSITION 13. TABLES, FIGURES, FOOTNOTES, AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES ARE INCLUDED. FOR SPECIFIC ARTICLES WITHIN THIS MANUAL, SEE NCJ 59240-59246.
