DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEMS PLANNING MODEL, INTENDED FOR USE BY PLANNERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND LINE-DECISION MAKERS.
Abstract
THE MODEL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN ESTIMATING QUANTITATIVELY THE IMPACT OF PROPOSED FUTURE CHANGES TO THE SYSTEM (BOTH LEGISLATIVE AND PROGRAMMATIC), AND TO SERVE AS A BETTER MONITORING, DEVICE FOR MAKING ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS ABOUT PRESENT ACTIVITIES IN THE CANADIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THE SUCCESS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS MODEL IS PERHAPS UNIQUE SINCE IT HAS NOT ONLY BEEN ACCEPTED AS AN ADDITIONAL PLANNING TOOL, BUT ALSO HAS OBTAINED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND EXTENSION OF ITS POSSIBLE USES WITHIN THE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY. FOR RELATED CANJUS DOCUMENTATION, SEE NCJ-14942-50 AND NCJ-14929-31. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
