Article Review
The article reviewed is titled “Dangerous fatigue conditions: a study of police
work and law enforcement administration” written by Scott Senjo and published in Police
Practice and Research on June 1st, 2011. Senjo articulates throughout the article what
many in law enforcement already knew: law enforcement officers, for several reasons,
are fatigued. Fatigue is universally accepted to keep individuals from performing to their
fullest ability and to increase the frequency of workplace accidents. Both generally
accepted assertions were found to be true from Senjo’s study. Senjo makes the case that
measures should be taken to reduce this fatigue.
Senjo’s work was comprised of the following: Pre-existing data on sleep
deprivation among other careers, such as truckers and pilots, and a study led by former
Chief of Police Bryan Vila of approximately 300 hundred officers from four police
departments; personal interviews with current and former officers; and surveys of law
enforcement administrations. Senjo’s findings were that the topic of officer fatigue had
not received the attention that it likely deserves given the proven adverse effects of
fatigue and the inherently dangerous work of law enforcement. In addition to the
potentially dangerous situations officers could find themselves in, Senjo points out the
potential civil liability that stems from poor decision making by fatigued officers.
Some of the contributing factors that Senjo associates with the chronic fatigue
plaguing the occupation are relatively low wages causing officers to seek secondary
employment, mandatory or elective overtime, educational reimbursement incentives,
mandatory court appearances, and shift work. Through personal interviews with officers,
Senjo found that every single one had worked at least one 60 hour week in the month
prior to their interview. Through interviews with law enforcement administrations, Senjo
found that the concept of fatigue was recognized by many and partial efforts were made
to reduce that fatigue but those efforts were usually met with push-back from labor
unions.
The dilemma spoken about in Senjo’s article is clear: fatigued officers are prone
to mistakes. The potential risk to life or limb caused by fatigued induced mistakes is a
serious dilemma but one confronted by at least the partial necessity of all of the
contributing factors. Of the contributing factors that Senjo identified as relating to the
problem of fatigue, only secondary employment might be debatable as a necessity to the
officers. The other contributing factors are a necessary and unfortunate evil associated
with the occupation. For instance, Senjo suggests that court could be rescheduled which
is a laughable comment in this reviewer’s opinion. Why should the officer be given the
benefit of the schedule if all other participants in the court process, of which the officer is
in the minority, should be inconvenienced? This study could have easily been about
attorney’s who are sleep deprived were that the case. Shift work, specifically night shift,
is attributed to fatigue due to the interruption of circadian rhythms but there is a need for
law enforcement operating at all times.
The article in this reviewer’s opinion is not in line with or against a biblical
worldview but rather a statement of fact about fatigue. The study found data suggesting
that officers are working hard, or if not hard then working many hours, which is in line
with a biblical worldview. Colossians 3:23 says “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for
the Lord and not for men,” (ESV). This study shows that officers are definitely working
heartily. This reviewer found Acts 20:35 especially relevant to the occupation: “In all
things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and
remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give
than to receive.’” (ESV).
In the middle of the article, Senjo writes in short that ideally agencies should not
attempt to interfere with officer’s sleep schedules as they should be able to self-regulate
the amount of rest they receive. Unfortunately the data shows that most officers are not
getting the needed rest and as such are more prone to accidents because of it. This
reviewer is unable to argue that point. Law enforcers take legal action against people who
endanger the lives of others routinely as part of their job but through the lack of their own
self-regulation, either encouraged by their administration or their own needs, they may be
endangering others.

ARTICLE REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS
The focus of this course is on the management, administration, and/or leadership aspects of
criminal justice organizations. The purpose of the Article Review assignment is to provide you
with experience in the identification, location, and analysis of scholarly-quality information
relating to the criminal justice field.
For your Article Review, you will research and select a peer-reviewed, scholarly-quality article
from a quality web-based resource. You may address any general administration, management,
or leadership subtopic that you find generally addressed in the Peak textbook. This leaves the
selection of the general topic of the article up to you. However, the major focus of the article
must be on a relevant justice management, administration, or leadership issue. As an example, if
you have an interest in the corrections area of the general criminal justice field, you may focus
your efforts on corrections. However, the article that you review must be on a management
related topic that is within the general scope of the corrections field. Granting you the discretion
to pick a specific subject area to research is not an open invitation to write on any subject that
you just happen to like. Keep your focus for this assignment within the general scope of the
Administration of Justice Organizations course.
In your review:
• Discuss the article’s findings, any ethical dilemmas presented in the article, and how the
specific topic relates to a biblical worldview.
• Ensure that you include information on the article’s title, author, journal, date/edition, and
web location. Address how the administrative, management, or leadership concepts and
ideas presented in the article apply to justice administration. In other words, you are
telling why this particular article has some merit to the study of criminal justice
administration and how you are making a biblical connection to the content of the article.
• Your review paper must be 2–3 pages and be double-spaced.
• Include both a working link that goes directly to the article’s web location and a citation
of the article.
• The article must be less than 5 years old.
• You must include a brief discussion of at least 2 Bible verses that have a relevant
reference to the main theme of the article.
• Current APA format in the body of the review is required.
Your use of the Jerry Falwell Library or similar library research facilities will be relevant to your
successful completion of this assignment. It is highly unlikely that you will locate appropriate
peer-reviewed journals or articles by only using a Google-type search.

Article Requirements
The type of article that you are seeking is also known as a peer-reviewed article, or a scholarly
journal article. Here are some key elements for you to look for to ensure that you have located an
appropriate article.
Peer-reviewed articles are commonly written by experts in a particular field, reviewed by the
publications staff, reviewed by other experts in that field, and printed in scholarly journals that
focus on that particular field of study. In meeting the requirements of this assignment, you are
not looking for articles that one typically finds in general interest magazines such as Time,
Newsweek, People, etc., or even professional/trade publications, such as the FBI Law
Enforcement Bulletin, the National Institute of Justice Journal, Police Chief Magazine, etc.
Rather, you are looking for scholarly journals that commonly report original research or details
of theories of information that pertain to a specific field of criminal justice administration. A
scholarly journal article will use specialized or technical vocabulary that is specific to that field
and will provide documentation of a number of sources that will be used in the article by listing
specifics in multiple footnotes or a detailed bibliography. The article will also normally include
at least an overview of the academic credentials of the author. The journal in which the article
appears will normally not contain advertisements. The journal’s printed distribution will
normally be of a more limited nature such as to educational institutions, scholars, or
professionals in that particular field. The New England Journal of Medicine is an example of one
such scholarly journal from the medical field.
If you are unsure as to the meaning of terminology associated with scholarly-quality, peerreviewed, academic-quality, or similar references to quality sources of information to be used in
this course, refer to the Jerry Falwell Library, or the Liberty University Online Writing Center
website. You may also review public library search engines or the library website of most major
universities for assistance.
You will note that you have not been provided an example of a specific criminal justice-oriented,
peer-reviewed, scholarly journal. Conducting the necessary research to locate a relevant
scholarly journal as a source of a specific, peer-reviewed article for this assignment is an
important element of the assignment.
You may exchange information/ideas with classmates on potential journal sources in the Class
Questions area of the Discussion Board Forums. While as a class you are encouraged to
collaborate on the research aspect of this assignment, you are expected to independently
complete the analysis and writing portion of the assignment.
Your analysis must be provided in current APA format. Current APA information is available at
the Liberty University Online Writing Center.
For a detailed description on how the Article Review will be graded, see the Article Review
Grading Rubric.
Submit the Article Review by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 3.
