Q Change, as well as innovation, often involves taking a chance. Change can occur at every level of an organization. Change and innovation are often viewed as a general phenomenon rather than a procedurally driven application to a specific criminal justice agency. Change is a process, not an event. Change may be planned (purposive) or unplanned (crescive) driven by either internal or external forces. As we have progressed from the twentieth century into the twenty-first century, there have been many changes and innovations within criminal justice organizations. In Chapters 3 and 11, which discuss organizational environments and conflict, you learned that many issues and actors come into play regarding organizations and change. Chapter 14, specifically addresses Change and Innovation. • Films on Demand (Producer) (2008).
