DESCRIPTION OF A MODEL THAT SHOWS FLOWS OF PERSONS, COSTS, AND WORKLOADS WITHIN THE SYSTEM TO HELP ADMINISTRATORS MAKE MORE INFORMED PLANNING DECISIONS.
Abstract
ALTHOUGH AT PRESENT IN CANADA A GREAT AMOUNT OF QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION IS COLLECTED ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, THE INFORMATION IS FRAGMENTED IN DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LOCATIONS AND IN MANY CASES IS INCOMPATIBLE AND INCOMPLETE. THIS DOCUMENT USES A SIMPLE MODEL OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, JUSSIM, TO ORGANIZE PART OF THE PRESENT DATA ON THE CANADIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND PRESENT IT IN A COMPATIBLE FORM. THE DESCRIPTION WHICH WE GIVE OF THE SYSTEM IS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE, HOWEVER, IT IS A FIRST STEP IN OBTAINING MORE COMPATIBLE, COMPLETE, AND RELIABLE INFORMATION ON FLOWS OF PERSONS AND THE APPLICATION OF COSTS AND WORKLOADS IN THE CANADIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. FOR RELATED CANJUS DOCUMENTATION, SEE NCJ-014942, NCJ-014944-50, AND NCJ-014929-32. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
