2. Quality
• Different aspects of ‘quality standards’ for
observatories
– Quality for whom?
– Quality for what?
• Value for money
• Feasibility and usability of observatories in
challenging settings
3. Quality
• Characteristics of a product or service that bear on
its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs
• The standard of something as measured against
other things of a similar kind; the degree of
excellence of something
4. Questions about quality
• Quality of what?
– Data, statistics
(administrative data,
surveys)
– Policies
– Systems
• Quality for what?
– What kind of use of the
information?
• Quality for whom?
– Policy makers
– Citizens
– Law enforcement
• Quality for which sector?
– Conflict analysis
– Crime prevention
– Public health
5. Value for Money
• A ‘valuable’ use of resources
• A tool to examine different approaches with
different cost implications (but not aimed at only
identifying the cheapest: quality has costs!)
• A method and way of thinking to assess if
different actions are worthwhile
