Unlike other textbooks on the subject, Criminal Justice Policy and
Planning: Planned Change, Fifth Edition, presents a comprehensive
and structured account of the process of administering planned
change in the criminal justice system. Welsh and Harris detail a
simple yet sophisticated seven-stage model, which offers students
and practitioners a full account of program and policy development
from beginning to end. The authors thoughtfully discuss the steps:
analyzing a problem; setting goals and objectives; designing the
program or policy; action planning; implementing and monitoring;
evaluating outcomes; and reassessing and reviewing. Within these
steps, students focus on performing essential procedures, such as
conducting a systems analysis, specifying an impact model,
identifying target populations, making cost projections, collecting
monitoring data, and performing evaluations. In reviewing these
steps and procedures, students can develop a full appreciation for
the challenges inherent in the process and understand the tools
that they require to meet those challenges. To provide for a
greater understanding of the material, the text uses a wide array
of real-life case studies and examples of programs and policies.
Examples include policies such as Restorative Justice, Justice
Reinvestment, Stop-and-Frisk, and the Brady Act, and programs such
as drug courts, community-based violence prevention, and halfway
houses. By examining the successes and failures of various
innovations, the authors demonstrate both the ability of rational
planning to make successful improvements and the tendency of
unplanned change to result in undesirable outcomes. The result is a
powerful argument for the use of logic, deliberation, and
collaboration in criminal justice innovations.
