Abstract

ECONOMISTS AND SYSTEM ANALYSTS EXAMINED THE EXISTING METHODS AND EFFECTS OF FUND DISTRIBUTION AMONG COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES AND WITHIN EACH AGENCY TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS OF MANAGEMENT DECISION-MAKING AND LONG-RANGE PLANNING. A SYSTEMATIC METHOD WAS PROVIDED FOR DISCOVERING ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION AVAILABLE TO DECISION-MAKERS AND FOR ANALYZING THE COSTS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF PURSUING ALTERNATIVE POLICIES DESIGNED TO ACCOMPLISH BOTH SYSTEM-WIDE AND AGENCY (E.G., POLICE) OBJECTIVES.
