Criminal justice agencies are often dynamic settings where institutional objectives, capacities and constraints shift periodically and, sometimes unpredictably. Managers, therefore, require tools that help them to situate themselves amidst these changes, quickly chart new courses for institutional reforms and adapt their operational activities accordingly.
