In criminal justice, there are formal and informal channels of communication. The criminal justice system consists of police, corrections, and courts. The formal channels are the strict procedures defined by the policies of the organization. The informal channels consist of the undocumented sharing of information. (Sinclair, 2013). Formal channels of communication can be directed downward, upward, or horizontal. Downward formal communication is when directors send information to a lower level, and then the information will steadily be passed down to the lowest applicable subordinate. For example, a rule could be set by the warden, and be passed down first to the majors, then the lieutenants, then to the sergeants, and lastly, to the correctional officers. (Sinclair, 2013). Upward formal communication is when information from subordinates is passed up to the directors. Horizontal formal communication is when information is discussed within the same level of command. This channel is used for department problem solving, group projects, and resolving conflicts. Informal channels of communication are when employees, at any level, share information about what they heard. The most common informal channel of communication is the “grapevine”. The downside to this channel of communication is that information is not always passed on the same way as it was received. (Sinclair,…
