OUTCOMES

Engaged Vs Disengaged

As community engagement spending rate increases more adults and youth are engaged in society through community groups resulting in more positive lifestyles which therefore coincides with a decrease in disengaged adults and youth from society.

 

If unemployment , drug and alcohol rate is increased there are less youth and adults that are engaged in community groups, which results in an increase in disengaged adults and youth from society.

 

Behavioural Change

As increased police force presence & expenditure rate and/or community engagement spending rate is increased positive behavioural change surpasses negative behavioural change. Therefore having a positive effect on the community.

A decrease in increased police force presence & expenditure rate results in negative behaviour change to dominate over positive behavioural change.

Several scientific studies have shown that a regime of regular exercise can help drug addicts in fighting their addiction. This simple CLD tries to illustrate  the positive social and physical dynamic that sports activity can generate that may be beneficial in this process. There are also other positive effects of physical exercise that I have not shown. Sports activity  can help increase dopamine levels, which may improve the mood of those fighting drug addiction and  prompt them to stick to their regime of exercises.
