Annotation

THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE PREVIOUS EFFORTS REGARDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF CURRICULUM MODELS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT; BASED ON FEATURES OF THESE MODELS, A NEW CURRICULUM MODEL CALLED THE INTEGRATED-PROFESSIONAL MODEL IS OUTLINED.

Abstract

SYNTHESIZING THE CURRICULUM MODELS FOUND IN LAW ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION LITERATURE, THE AUTHOR PROPOSES FIVE BASIC CURRICULUM TYPES: TECHNICAL, INTEGRATED PROFESSIONAL, MIXED PROFESSIONAL, STUDIES, AND GENERAL MIXED. THESE CURRICULUM TYPES RANGE FROM PURELY TECHNICAL TO PURELY ABSTRACT INSTRUCTION. THE INTEGRATED PROFESSIONAL MODEL, CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT BY THE AUTHOR, INVOLVES INSTRUCTION IN BOTH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS CURRICULUM MODEL ARE LISTED, AND A DETAILED OUTLINE OF THE COURSES AND LEVELS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS TYPE OF CURRICULUM IS PROVIDED.
