Bethel University Correctional Facility Staff and Peacekeepers Discussion

In unit 2 we explored the concept that every employee of a correctional institution is a correctional worker, not just the guards. We also delved into the traits that create a personal leadership style that should be emulated. The topic of effective leadership in a correctional environment was also examined. For this unit’s Complete assignment, write a comprehensive scholarly essay (minimum 1650 words) in which you analyze, explain, and apply these concepts in the context of a law enforcement organization. You must incorporate and cite, using correct APA citation format, at least 5 different scholarly research sources. Be sure your essay demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections from this unit. In-line citations must be used in the body of your essay, and all research sources must be fully cited at the conclusion of your essay. Correct APA citation formats must be used.

Your essay should explain the concept that “all employees of a correctional institution are correctional workers first.” What does that concept mean in practical terms? What are the benefits of having such a policy? Are there any downsides to this policy? Your essay should analyze the traits of the best supervisor you ever had. What made you respect and appreciate this supervisor? How would you describe this supervisor’s personal leadership style? Your essay should also include a scholarly examination of the concept that “effective leadership of a prison or jail facility does not require a superintendent or warden to be charismatic and larger than life.” What leadership characteristics do you consider the most important? Which leadership characteristics are most likely to result in the development of an effective correctional operation?
