Anti-Crime Prevention Program Part 2

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.
