REPORT ON A THREE-PHASE ANALYTICAL PROCESS SHOWING HOW THE STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMISSION (NAC) ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE STANDARDS AND GOAL CAN BE APPLIED TO STATE CRIME JUSTICE PLANNING.

Abstract

THIS STUDY INVOLVED THE SELECTION OF 20 GOALS, A REVIEW OF THE NAC VOLUMES TO FIND STANDARDS WHICH WERE JUDGED TO RELATE POSITIVELY TO THE ATTAINMENT OF EACH OF THE GOALS, AND FINALLY A CROSS TABULATION OF THE GOALS AND STANDARDS WAS DEVELOPED TO ILLUSTRATE SOME OF THE WAYS IN WHICH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STANDARDS CAN LEAD TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF GOALS. THIS REPORT PRESENTS THE NAC STANDARDS SELECTED AS HAVING THE MOST RELEVANCE IN ACHIEVING EACH OF THE 20 GOALS. (THE GOALS SELECTED COVERED SUCH SUBJECT AREAS AS FORCIBLE RAPE, ROBBERY, AUTO THEFT, CHILD ABUSE, FRAUD, ORGANIZED CRIME, VICTIM REPARATION, AND JUVENILE CRIME.) ON THE LEFT HAND PAGE, THE INDIVIDUAL GOAL IS STATED ALONG WITH A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF SOME PERTINENT CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO THAT GOAL. OPPOSITE, IN A FOLDOUT PAGE, THE NAC STANDARDS SELECTED ARE GROUPED ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE FUNCTIONAL AREAS TO WHICH THEY APPLY. AT THE TOP ARE TABULATED THE TEN MOST RELEVANT STANDARDS, WITH THE EXCEPTIONS NOTED ELSEWHERE, AND BELOW THIS, TWO OF THESE TEN ARE DESCRIBED IN CONDENSED FASHION AND THEN BRIEF EXPLANATIONS ARE PROVIDED CONCERNING THE REASONS FOR THEIR SELECTION AND THE NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP TO GOAL ATTAINMENT.
