This Research in Brief discusses a model process for community corrections agencies' strategic planning and evaluation that relies on performance-based measures. The NIJ-sponsored project was based on the idea that performance-based measures could provide agencies with a mechanism for assessing what they do and how well they do it. Given the proper learning environment and a system of structured feedback, community corrections agencies that adopt the model process—developed by the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA)—could discover ways to improve outcomes and achieve desired goals. The APPA model is based on a five-step process that includes clarifying values, defining the agency's mission, developing organizational goals, implementing activities to meet agency goals, and evaluating performance.
