WORKSHEET 17: Assessing the Impact of the Proposed Strategy
(A) Briefly describe the impact of the strategy you developed in Worksheet # 16. For each player list the original issue position, power and priority scores. List the new scores produced by your strategy. If the scores remain the same write an "S." Provide a reason for the changes:
|
PLAYER |
ORIGINAL SCORE |
NEW SCORE |
REASONS |
|
James French |
Position +1 Power 5 Priority 1 |
+3 S S |
His main
reservation was the possibility that teens might not make responsible
decisions. If there is an adult board
to oversee the decisions, he is willing to give the policy more of a
chance. |
|
K.Westcott |
Position -2 Power 5 Priority 1 |
S S S |
The compromise does not change her opposition. She still favors the traditional court system. |
|
J.McGrath |
Position -4 Power 3 Priority 3 |
-2 S S |
He was afraid the teens would just see the Teen Court as a way to avoid a jail sentence. His opposition to the proposal is less as he thinks an adult advisory board may be able to monitor this. He does not support the proposal because he still has reservations. |
|
Johanna Horton |
Position 0 Power 5 Priority 3 |
+1 S 2 |
She feels that the board could monitor the penalties and make sure they are stiff enough. Thus, she gives slight support to the policy. Her priority declines because she is no longer concerned that there will be negative effects from the policy. |

CALCULATION OF THE PROBABILITY:
Calculation 2: Sum of all of the positive scores plus 1/2 neutral scores = 85
Calculation 3: Sum of all scores ignoring signs and parentheses = 113
Calculation 4: Probability of support = Calculation 2 divided by Calculation 3
= 85/113 = .75 x 100 = 75%
