Question description
Internal politics of
criminal justice agencies are part of the reality of working in this field. It
is impossible to avoid politics altogether, but it is possible to manage
internal politics politely, professionally, and responsibly throughout your
career. Consider this scenario:
You work as a probation officer in a large metropolitan area. During the last
session, the General Assembly of your State passed a bill eliminating three
probation officers from each Probation and Parole Office across the state. Each
probation officer in your office is now clamoring to exhibit his or her best
work in an attempt to please the bosses, putting these officers in direct
competition with you. Everyone is trying to be the boss’s best employee; going
above and beyond what they normally do in an effort to demonstrate that he or
she does not need to be the officer cut.
