ABSTRACT
One of the fundamental themes in this book is the systems approach to police administration. Basically, this approach emphasizes the interrelatedness that characterizes modern society and the necessity of viewing people, organizations, and processes as parts of larger systems. e systems approach, with its stress on interrelatedness, helps us to keep these external inuencing factors in mind. And, as the forces of change, complexity, and interdependence in our society continue to grow stronger, the need for the systems approach to organizing and managing increases.
