Respond by Day 5 to two colleagues with support for their models, or offer an alternative model you believe might be more appropriate. A few sentences and a question. Reply to Elijah as if you are having conversation.

The Ammons’ Model is the process of collecting, analyzing and reporting data regarding the performance (Ammons, 2013). It is a tool to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of programs and services (Ammons, 2013). Performance measures include inputs, outputs, efficiency measures, and outcomes (Ammons, 2013). Many performance measurement structures are limited to measuring program inputs and outputs (Ammons, 2013).

Performance measurement efforts generate information about program results and outcomes (Ammons, 2013). The use of performance measures is driven by increased demands for accountability (Ammons, 2013). Performance measures are inclusive of related information to assist in program evaluation and resource allocation decisions (Ammons, 2013). The Ammons’ Model measurement of performance consists of effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of service (Ammons, 2013).

The measurement evaluates performance and the areas that are not meeting the outlined goals (Ammons, 2013). The Ammons’ Model provides an assessment of services as it relates to cost (Ammons, 2013). The Ammons’ Model would be beneficial to the criminal justice system to measure the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs, first-time offenders’ programs, and preventive service programs. The Ammon’s Model would provide the data necessary to influence the investment or divestment of monies to the programs and services provided to criminal offenders.
