Discuss the assessment-evaluation cycle.
What will be an ideal response?
This process in which an agency is constantly assessing and evaluating itself is known as the assessment-evaluation cycle. This is the process whereby assessment data and evaluation data are compared to determine the effectiveness of programs and to find areas where improvement of agency services is required. Agencies that successfully implement the assessment-evaluation cycle tend to use public resources more effectively and are also less prone to placing the community at risk of future criminal activity. On the other hand, agencies that do not successfully implement the assessment-evaluation cycle will be more likely to waste agency resources and place the community at a level of risk that otherwise would be preventable.
