Jail in City Center

Managing Local Government: Cases in Effectiveness: Relating to Other Organizations: A Jail in City Center is described from the vantage point of the city, and the decision problem is posed as one that the city manager must resolve. From an intergovernmental perspective, the central issue is the resolution of a conflict between two local governments, each legally independent of the other but with overlapping jurisdiction. This e-book demonstrates the challenges posed by differences in objectives and the impact on the manager's freedom to act.
