ABSTRACT
Introduction Management by objectives is a functional process that has been discussed by many
people who have provided similar, but not identical, definitions.
A complete volume on this subject, called Policing by Objectives (Lubans & Edgar,
1979), has been prepared by Social Development Corporation of Hartford, Connecticut,
under the direction of Val Lubans. It now appears as a prescriptive package distributed by
the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice of the Department of
Justice.
