A STUDY OF WASHINGTON MANPOWER NEEDS AND THE VALUE OF COLLEGE-LEVEL CRIMINAL JUSTICE EDUCATION FOR POLICE OFFICERS, CORRECTIONS WORKERS, PAROLE AND PROBATION WORKERS, COURT ADMINISTRATORS, AND LEGAL ASSISTANTS.

Abstract

FOR EACH PROFESSION THIS RESEARCH FOCUSED ON TWO QUESTIONS: WHETHER EMPLOYMENT WITHIN THE PROFESSION WAS TO BE AVAILABLE AT ALL IN THE COMING YEARS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, AND WHETHER THE KIND OF TRAINING PROGRAM ENVISIONED FOR THE CENTRAL WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE WOULD ADEQUATELY PREPARE STUDENTS FOR ENTRANCE INTO SUCH JOBS. IN GENERAL, IT WAS FOUND THAT SUCH A TRAINING PROGRAM WOULD BE FEASIBLE FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF EMPLOYMENT, AND THAT IT IS ALSO SEEN AS DESIRABLE BY RESPONSIBLE PROFESSIONALS ALREADY IN THE FIELD.
