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.
