Criminal Justice Policy and Planning, Fourth Edition, introduces students, practitioners, and policymakers to scientific techniques for analyzing criminal justice problems. It offers a systematic framework for analyzing and improving existing criminal justice interventions, and for planning new methods to maximize chances of success.
The term “planned change covers a wide range of criminal justice policies, programs, and projects that are developed, implemented, revised, abolished, and recreated each year. Poor planning and faulty problem analysis are the main reasons that so many criminal justice interventions fail to live up to expectations. The book begins by discussing the three general approaches to planned change (policy, program, and project) and presenting a seven-stage model for planned change. The remaining chapters cover the most critical and most overlooked stages of planning; setting goals and objectives for change; designing effective policies and programs; action planning, including budgeting and cost projections, and assigning responsibility for completion of specific implementation tasks; program/policy implementation and monitoring; outcome evaluation; and reassessment of programs.
- Chapters are enhanced with outlines, figures, tables, examples, discussion questions, and case studies.
- Appendix includes a seven-stage checklist for program and policy planning.
