Criminal Justice Question
Examine the “three forms” of external review (Auditors & Inspector Generals, Blue Ribbon Commissions, and Private Consulting Groups) discussed in Chapter 7.
Imagine you are a newly selected police chief for an agency that is facing several serious allegations of corruption and excessive force that led to the firing of the Chief. As a condition of hire, you have asked the City Manager for funding for an external review of the department and allegations.
