am/Policy Planning and Analysis found in the appendix of the Welsh textbook which are Stage 1. Analyzing the Problem (Document the need for change: – Collect and analyze data to define what the problem is, where it is, how big it is, and who is affected by it. What evidence of the problem exists? -Describe the history of the problem: How long has the problem existed? How has it changed over time? Examine potential causes of the problem: What causes the problem? – What theories do we have? The intervention to be chosen must target one or more specific causes supported by research. Examine previous interventions that have tried to change this problem. Identify the most promising interventions and choose a preferred intervention approach. (DARE) E. Identify relevant stakeholders: Do different groups of people have different definitions of the problem? Who is affected by the problem? Conduct a systems analysis: Conduct research on the justice system where the problem exists, and determine how the system may create, contribute to, or maintain the problem. -Identify barriers to change and supports for change: Who is likely to support a certain course of action? Who is likely to resist it?)Stage 2. Setting Goals and Objectives Stage (Write goal statements specifying the general outcome to be obtained. Consider the goals of criminal sanctions and normative values driving desired outcomes.- Write specific outcome objectives for each goal: These should include a time frame for measuring impact, a target population, a key result intended, and a specific criterion or measure of impact.- Seek participation from different individuals and agencies in goal setting. Consider top-down versus bottom-up approaches.- Specify an impact model: This is a description of how the intervention will act upon a specific cause so as to bring about a change in the problem.- Identify compatible and incompatible goals in the larger system: Where do values of different stakeholders overlap or conflict?-Identify needs and opportunities for inter agency collaboration: Whose cooperation and participation is needed to achieve the goals of this program or policy?) 3. Designing the Program or Policy Stage (Choose an intervention approach: Integrate the information collected at previous stages to decide what the substance of an intervention will be. Decide whether a program or policy approach is appropriate.- Program design requires four major activities:- Define the target population: Who is to be served, or changed?) 4. Action Planning Stage (Identify resources needed and make cost projections: How much funding is needed to implement a specific intervention? Identify the kinds of resources needed, estimate costs and make projections, anddevelop a resource plan.- Plan to acquire or reallocate resources: How will funding be acquired? Identify resource providers, and be prepared for making adjustments to the resource plan.) 5. Program/Policy Implementation and Monitoring Stage () 6. Evaluating Outcomes Stage (Decide which type of evaluation is appropriate, and why: Do major stakeholders (including those funding the evaluation) want to know whether the program or policy is achieving its objectives (impact)) 7. Reassessment and Review (Initiate the program or policy design and the action plan developed at Stages 3 and 4: Make sure that specific individuals are responsible for coordinating all program or policy activities.).
