based on a case study entitled-- Assertive Policing, Plummeting Crime: The NYPD Takes on Crime in New York City,

(Case Centre as HKS1530.0 formerly CL16-99-1530.0)

Take the case of a local public school district concerned about the low fourth-grade reading and mathematics scores on state-wide standardized tests in the majority of its 20 schools (each headed by a principal who oversees a variety of academic department heads). You serve as a consultant to the elected school board and the district administrator. Would you advise the full adoption of the NYPD Compstat model, a more constrained and relaxed version, or almost none of the components from that model to help the test scores?

Explain your response in a few sentences while taking organizational and political considerations into account. If you select almost none of those model's components, you must give a general concept of what you would recommend in their place.
