This edited collection explores policing in America in regards to
minority groups. The essays discuss how the relationship between
police and minority groups affects politics, the economy, and
minority groups' daily lives and success. The contributors explore
the Black Lives Matter movement, the Detroit, Los Angeles, and
Atlanta Police Departments, immigration, incarceration, community
policing, police violence, and detail causes, theories, and
solutions to this important phenomenon.
Successful change in the public sector can be supported or hindered
by political and administrative leadership, individual and group
motivation, and the public's perception of the effectiveness of
public officials and government structures. But do the very
characteristics of public sector organizations present obstacles to
successful transformative change? This book assesses the current
state of the literature on leadership and change in government and
public policy, and introduces the reader to innovative new ways to
demonstrate leadership in times of change. Contributions from
accomplished scholars in the field cover the traditional public
administration areas of performance and management, as well as the
diversity of issues that surround public leadership and change,
both domestic and global. Chapters on public sector innovation,
performance leadership, governance networks, complexity in disaster
management, change initiatives in educational systems and local
government, citizen advisory bodies, and gender and race equality,
to name but a few, provide important case studies throughout the
volume. Leadership and Change in Public Sector Organizations will
be required reading for upper level undergraduate and graduate
courses in public administration/management, leadership, and public
policy analysis.
Institutional racism may be described as a self-perpetuating and
opaque process where, either intentionally or unintentionally,
barriers and procedures which disadvantage ethnic minority groups
are supported and maintained. It is often the direct linkage and
thus the underlying cause for the lack of diversity and cultural
competency in the workplace. Yet institutional racism, as a
research topic, has been ignored by scholars because it forces
emphasis on the unseen and unspoken, yet culturally relevant
underpinnings of the workplace and societal ethos. Studies touching
on diversity in the public administration research often address
the subject as education and training - especially with regard to
the competencies needed by professional administrators. However,
racism and discrimination, as underlying factors, are seldom
addressed. Once specific examples of institutional racism have been
identified in an organization, change agents may take prescriptive
steps to address it directly and thus have a more cogent argument
for change.
