AMU The Philosophy of Community Policing Matrix Comparative Analysis

Matrix Comparative Analysis- Create and use Matrix Comparative Analysis, thus evaluating the alternatives using the structure of the matrix comparative analysis and the factors you chose.

I.                      VI      Matrix Analysis:  (From Course Outline)

You are now in a position where you are prepared to evaluate the alternatives using a matrix analysis method.  The matrix serves as a method to facilitate your decision making and demonstrates to the reader just how each alternative is judged against a specific criterion.  It is the centerpiece of your Capstone Project.

Each alternative will be given a value as it is judged against a specific criterion.  Values are assigned in the following manner:

Excellent    =   5

Very Good =   4

Good          =   3

Fair             =   2

Poor            =   1

The actual numbers (the values) used in this methodology have no intrinsic value of themselves.  Rather, the numbers serve as a listing of an order of priority and have the singular goal of assisting you in choosing the optimal course of action. 

• Note:   CADMM provides a methodology or framework to choose the best alternative available.  But it does not limit you from using your “intuition” and “gut” in carrying out your analysis.
