Value-Critical Approach (Chambers) |
Analysis Model (McInnis-Dittrich) |
Proposed Model (Karger & Stoesz) |
|
1a. Strengths |
Practitioners the policy analyst advocate for the youth in early stage and focus on current social issues will it make an impact on the social problem
|
Professionals are hired, e.g., social workers, to analyze the policy and it is to benefit the social welfare with good intentions |
The analyst will determine the history behind the policy and will it address the social problem and benefit the client population |
|
1b. Weaknesses
|
Can be a conflict between legislators and practitioners on to conduct the program |
The practitioner can be biased about the policy if a thorough review is not shown; this is where changes occur |
Will the policy be useful for the population as a whole |
|
2a. Positives |
Will provide a way to provide services and what type of benefits will be offered can set guidelines for evaluation |
The policy assessed by finding what worked best for the client population |
How long the policy been used for this purpose, how does legislation help to promote the history of the policy |
|
2b. Negatives
|
Some theories will be based on facts, and others will be disregarded. Is the funding available for the client |
Did the policy meet its goals in finding the best resolution to the problem? Will it be modified not based on personal opinion |
If the policy is not useful, how can the framework be changed to help the client? When will the policy end? The "Sunset law." |
|
3. Service to various client systems |
Practitioners can recommend other support to the client. Also, will the services reach everyone needing treatment |
Is the policy cost-effective? Will it only serves a few? Will it help social inequities? How many will it help |
The services offered from the policy are reasonable will it be long or short term. Clients can receive in-kind, cash, etc. |
|
4.Fair practice |
Practitioners can use personal, organizational, and political frames to analyze how to provide service equally |
Learning from empirical evidence that the policy reached its goals to service the client population |
Who will benefit more from the policy will research be conducted other resources available from the government on equality from the policy |
|
5. Program evaluation |
Is the program creating change? Is it suitable for the social problem |
Is the program useful, scientific methods used and asking questions. if the policy is not working it the professional to change the policy |
Policy analyst compares the proposed policy with alternative policies and documents the findings to see what works best for the client |
|
6. Provision of feedback |
Practitioners advocate but are the program outcome the only thing causing the positive results with the client. |
Does the program seem to be working is more money and staff needed little changes to make more effective does it happen in the agency level or administrative law |
An analyst can rely on experimental research, government and agency records, information from legislation and publications |
|
7. Direction for service delivery |
With practitioners model to address the issues of the client and how will they access it to the client population |
How is the program administered affects for it to succeed |
The analyst that support one policy and needs may not fulfill every need for the client/population |
The three frameworks used in the matrix were the value-critical approach, analysis model, and the proposed model. The value-critical approach is a policy analyst who focuses on whether the program will solve the social problem. Traditional values are used to figure out what will work best for the population, is the program cost-effective, diverse, is the program useful for the social issue, and who will profit from the program.
The Analysis model uses hired professionals such as social workers who will address a social problem by analyzing whether the policy or program currently being used will work for the client or population. However, personal opinions can skew the outcome of the policy or program. This model focus on the social problem that is a reflection of the attitudes of society. The steps follow a specific outline to determine if the policy or program will be useful for all and if the program or policy is not, then it is the professional's responsibility to change or modify the to benefit the client or population.
The Proposed model is reviewed by a policy analyst who determines if this is a historical problem, how the historical policy was, and if handled correctly. The analyst determines how enormous the social problem is affecting the majority. They often will take in legislation that has addressed the social problem to see if it was useful and how it benefited the social problem. The policy analyst wants to know if the goals of the policy contributed to a better lifestyle.
The Analysis model is the study's choice; social workers impact how programs and policies are reviewed to benefit the client or population. Personal biases eliminated when changing a social problem. Understanding a policy or program will provide a straightforward way to address the issues and minimize social problems. They are working to reassess the program or policy to ensure effectiveness for the client or population.
