				Defendant/ person charged/convictedThe logic model has six components:

Inputs — financial, staff, equipment and other resources invested to support the program.
	Activities — structured services intended to deliver what is necessary to achieve objectives.
	Outputs — observable and measurable events resulting from program implementation.
	Short-term outcomes — immediate changes realized especially during program participation.
	Long-term outcomes — changes realized after program participation.
	External factors — conditions outside the program that affect implementation and outcomes.Components
