System Dynamics Research and Consult has been asked bythe Ministry of Justice in The Netherlands to develop a simulation model of the criminal justice system. In this system a number of feedback mechanism are present that have negative side effects on the society. The first steps in the development of the model were taken. A number of small models of parts of the system were made to gain insight in the behaviour of some variables that are hard to quantify. A larger semi-dynamic model was developed to study the behaviour of the variables that are better to quantify. All models have to be integrated in the next part of the project in order to refine the forecasts.
