This assignment requires you to develop an evaluation strategy for a police or crime problem chosen using Vito & Higgins planning evaluation strategy in Chapter 2. Using the evaluation strategy in Vito & Higgins to frame the paper, you will establish goals, objectives, and performance indicators using a theory that provides the basis for your specified program. Citations must be used for the underlying theories. For example, you choose violent crime as the problem you are going to address, then you will examine the theories surrounding violent crime reduction. Using one of these theories, such as focused deterrence, you will model a program after a Ceasefire or Pulling Levers example. You will use the theory to inform program operations to drive the selection of treatments, clarify the services provided, and determine the variables to be measured.
You will also include a Logic Model for the chosen problem following the Vito & Higgins model in Chapter 2. The Logic Model should be in the form of a chart (an excel spreadsheet will be fine). The Logic Model will cover inputs, activities, outputs, short-term outcomes, long-term outcomes, and external factors.
Instructions
Explain the assignment in detail. Specify the exact requirements of the assignment. Items to include are outlined as follows:
Length of assignment is 5 – 7 pages
Excluding the title page, abstract, and reference section, logic model
Format of assignment is the current APA format
Number of citations are five (5)
Acceptable sources are peer reviewed journal articles, scholarly articles published within the last five years, and textbooks.
The Logic Model will be the same format as Vito & Higgins in Chapter 2.
This CJUS 801 Part 2 assignment asks you to build an evaluation strategy and logic model for a chosen crime problem using Vito & Higgins (Ch. 2) — establishing goals, objectives, and performance indicators grounded in a crime theory. Frame the whole paper with the evaluation strategy and cite the underlying theory.
Key takeaways
- Use Vito & Higgins’ planning evaluation strategy (Ch. 2) to frame the paper.
- Choose a crime problem and the theory that addresses it (cite it).
- Establish goals, objectives, and performance indicators.
- Build a logic model (inputs → activities → outputs → outcomes).
- Tie the program to a reduction theory (e.g., focused deterrence).
Choose the problem and theory
Select a police/crime problem (e.g., violent crime) and the theory that frames your program’s approach — e.g., focused deterrence, situational crime prevention, or problem-oriented policing. Cite the underlying theory.
Goals, objectives, indicators
Using Vito & Higgins’ evaluation strategy, establish measurable goals (the broad aim), objectives (specific, measurable steps), and performance indicators (how you’ll measure progress) grounded in the theory.
Build the logic model
Construct a logic model linking inputs (resources) → activities → outputs → outcomes (short, intermediate, long-term), showing how the program’s theory produces crime reduction.
Format
Frame the paper with the evaluation strategy and cite the theories. See our CJUS 801 evaluability guide for the related Part 1.
