Since the first edition of Public Administration and Law was
published in 1983, it has retained its unique status of being the
only book in the field of public administration that analyzes how
constitutional law regulates and informs the way administrators
interact with each other and the public. Examining First, Fourth,
Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights as they pertain to
these encounters, it explains how public administrators must do
their jobs and how administrative systems must operate in order to
comply with constitutional law.
Explores the conflicts between laws
The book begins by presenting a historical account of the way
constitutional and administrative law have incrementally
"retrofitted" public agencies into the nation's constitutional
design. It examines the federal judiciary's impact on federal
administration and the effect of the nation's myriad environmental
laws on public administration. Next, it focuses on the role of the
individual as a client and customer of public agencies. In a
discussion of the Fourth Amendment, it examines street-level
encounters between citizens and law enforcement agents. Responding
to the rise of the new public management (NPM), it also adds, for
the first time in this edition, a chapter that analyzes the rights
of the individual not only as a government employee but also as a
government contractor.
Enhanced with numerous references
The final chapters of the book address issues concerning the
rights of inmates in administrative institutions and balancing the
need to protect individual rights with the ability of agencies to
function effectively. Supplemented with case citations and lists of
articles, books, and documents, this text is designed to facilitate
further study in a constantly evolving area.
