Free Downloads Report Writing For Criminal Justice Professionals
The criminal justice process is dependent on accurate documentation. Criminal justice professionals can spend 50-75% of their time writing administrative and research reports. Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals, Fifth Edition provides practical guidance--with specific writing samples and guidelines--for providing strong reports. Much of the legal process depends on careful documentation and the crucial information that lies within, but most law enforcement, security, corrections, and probation and parole officers have not had adequate training in how to provide well-written, accurate, brief, and complete reports. Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals covers everything officers need to learn--from basic English grammar to the difficult but often-ignored problem of creating documentation that will hold up in court. This new edition is updated to include timely information, including extensive coverage of digital reporting, updates on legal issues and privacy rights, and expanded coverage of forensics and scientific reporting.

This is a basic English book, with a number of fill it out forms borrowed from CJ agencies. The authors show a complete lack of experience in actual CJ work, no doubt they have never been so employed. Some of their Courtroom tips are so laughable, I had to share the laughs with my class. Clearly, this is not going to help someone looking for tips with writing in CJ. Save your money.
This book is the text book at my university for a criminal justice report writing class. We jump all over in the book, and have to go to a specific page. Unfortunately, the kindle edition does not include page numbers. There is no quick and easy way to jump to where the rest of the class is. I looked it up, and page numbers are something the publisher needs to add. This is not a simple option on my e-reader to turn on. I use kindle texts for all my classes, and all the others have page numbers for easy scrolling to the appropriate place.
The book is an easy read but a lot of the material is common knowledge. A few of the examples in the book were incorrect. My professor often had to to teach materiel that the book missed.
