Maslow's hierarchy of needs is just one of several motivational theories discussed in this unit. It is a foundational concept in the role of a criminal justice administrator, whether in law enforcement, corrections, or courts.

For this assignment, examine the foundations of criminal justice administration as well as Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Each of the levels in the hierarchy of needs must be examined in detail as it relates to administration and personnel. Make certain that the assignment meets the criteria below.

1. First, include an introduction that gives a brief overview of criminal justice administration. In this section, explain the criminal justice model and describe the three leadership positions historically found within criminal justice agencies. Compare and contrast descriptions and functions of the criminal justice system to include process, network, non-system, and true system.
2. Then, explain how a criminal justice administrator could apply Maslow's model in each of the leadership theories (trait, style, and situational leadership). Give an example from each of the three criminal justice sectors (law enforcement, corrections, and courts) to support the explanation.
3. Second, briefly identify one other motivational theory that can also be applied in all three criminal justice sectors. Give an example of how it could be used in each.
4. Third, discuss how the application of Maslow's hierarchy of needs contributes to effective communication in a criminal justice organization. Give an example from each of the three criminal justice sectors (law enforcement, corrections, and courts) to support the discussion.
5. Finally, analyze the connection between Maslow's beliefs and how they relate to an administrator's requirement to be aware of and respect the rights of employees. Give an example from each of the three criminal justice sectors (law enforcement, corrections, and courts) to support the analysis.
