Impact evaluation is more convenient for evaluation in criminal justice settings due to its focus on assessing the effectiveness of interventions and programs. In the criminal justice system, it is crucial to determine the impact of various programs and interventions on reducing crime rates, improving recidivism, and enhancing rehabilitation outcomes. Impact evaluation provides a structured framework for gathering evidence on the effectiveness of these initiatives, helping to inform decision-making, policy development, and resource allocation within the criminal justice system. This evaluation technique helps the shareholders gain knowledge of what policies are working or not working so that they may be adjusted. A program can be seen as a failure if it goes above budget and does not produce the outcome that was necessary. Impact evaluation can be done when it comes to traffic in an area and new development needed. Once a city starts growing there might be more traffic areas affected and there should be an evaluation done to see if the area needs to be accessed or opened up to avoid traffic violations or accidents. Additionally, impact evaluation allows for the assessment of long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and the identification of best practices, all of which are essential in addressing complex challenges in criminal justice settings.
