The impact of politics and/or the media on the operation of criminal justice agencies 2.) Challenges and theories of motivating criminal justice personnel 3.)

Analysis of a theory of leadership and its application to criminal justice agencies 5.) The use of social media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) by criminal justice agencies 6.)
