Why Law Enforcement Organizations Fail dissects headline cases to examine how things go wrong in criminal justice agencies. New second edition cases include the deadly police assault on New Orleans’ Danziger Bridge after Hurricane Katrina; the deaths of Amadou Diallo and Trayvon Martin; and Bernard Kerik’s fall from 9/11 hero to federal prisoner. Highlight cases that remain from the first edition include the Jon Benet Ramsey murder investigation and the conflagrations that ended the sieges in Waco and at the MOVE house in Philadelphia. These human tragedies and organizational debacles serve as starting points for exploring how common structural and cultural fault lines in police organizations set the stage for major failures.

Table contents:

1. Diagnosing organizational dysfunction in policing
2. Normal accidents in law enforcement: making sense of things gone wrong
3. Structural failure in law enforcement: design defects in organization
4. Oversight failure in law enforcement: marginalizing the guardians
5. Cultural deviation in law enforcement: closed worlds that damage agencies
6. Institutionalization in law enforcement: running agencies for those within
7. Resource diversion in law enforcement: exploiting organizational systems
