Abstract:
|
A brief history of the John B. Pickett Fellowship notes that in
1992 the NIJ established the John B. Pickett Fellowship in
Criminal Justice Policy and Management at Harvard University's
Kennedy School of Government. Named for NIJ's first Director of
Planning and Management, who died in 1990, the Fellowship was
established to promote the careers of public servants like John
Pickett. NIJ Pickett Fellows have been selected to attend the
Kennedy School based on their demonstration of integrity,
professionalism, and dedication to public service. In addition,
Pickett Fellows must exhibit the motivation and values necessary
to act as leaders in the field of criminal justice. Through the
Pickett Fellowship, experienced professionals and senior
government executives have participated in one of two Kennedy
School programs: the Program for Senior Executives in State and
Local Government and Mid-Career Master's Degree in Public
Administration. Since its establishment, Pickett Fellowships have
been awarded to 73 individuals, who have had diverse backgrounds
and a wide range of experiences and perspectives on criminal
justice. Approximately half of the Fellowships have been awarded
to individuals from local law enforcement agencies. In discussing
the importance of their experiences and education they received
as Fellows, just over 20 of them comment in this report on how
the Pickett Fellowship has helped them see criminal justice
within a larger context, "think outside the box," and improve
their management and implementation skills. Overall, the Kennedy
School has provided Pickett Fellows with a unique exposure to a
wide range of ideas and people, which has encouraged innovative,
creative thinking that has helped to form effective criminal
justice leaders. Appended description of the Kennedy School's
