Master's of Public Policy (MPP)
Essay Research Paper Identified
- On November 7, 2015 Nathan Davis, a 2nd
year graduate student at Oregon State University (OSU), formally settled on tiering his
Master's of Public Policy (MPP) Essay research paper to the Josephine County (JO CO)
Justice System & Public Safety Services (JS&PSS) public safety issue. Nathan is in
the OSU School of Public Policy which is part of the OSU Rural Studies Program (RSP).
- Davis stated, "The importance of government hearing
citizen voices is what attracted me to policy research and, inevitably, to this project in
Josephine County." He grew up in a rural Illinois county in which citizens often
felt overlooked by government. During Davis undergraduate studies and through his
work with various policy institutions, he learned the importance of research in
governmental action. At OSU he expanded his knowledge of policy research and the role it
can play in making government action more effective and more democratic. "This
project not only affords me the chance to utilize this knowledge, but it also allows me to
help create solutions for a practical policy problem," said Davis. His hope is
that through this project, citizen values will be revealed, enabling JO CO to make more
democratic decisions.
-
- The Study Design approach relies on
"people" citizens to provide insight about how to identify and manage problems,
and formulate their own goals and solutions for the future (e.g., voting, writing letters
to the editor and guest opinions in the TGPDC, writing arguments in voters
pamphlets, etc.). Whalen emphasized, "The importance to citizens of knowing they
are being heard, of being the decision-makers that decide their future, is critical."
For example, the Studys alternatives that will be analyzed are the range
of potential solutions the public, as a group, identified.
-
- The focus on citizens as the decision-makers will be the
core of Nathans MPP paper, which is recording and analyzing the publics
opinions, pro and con, across their range of values, through a "Content
Analysis" research method.

- Abstract: Citizen
Perceptions of Public Safety Levies in Josephine County, Oregon: A Test of Group
Engagement Theory
- Group Engagement Theory describes the relationship
between citizen perceptions of policy, individual identity and status judgements, and
individual group engagement decisions. Utilizing a least likely crucial case methodology,
this paper uses the case of Josephine County, Oregon to determine the validity of the
Group Engagement Theory prediction that citizen identity and action are primarily driven
by citizen perceptions of procedural justice. Josephine County has been struggling to
raise funding through taxes for public safety services. Referenda in 2012, 2013, 2014, and
2015 all failed to garner the support of the public resulting in cuts to public safety
services. This research analyzed letters to the editor to a local newspaper to determine
citizen opinions and engagement decisions. Through this analysis, this paper determined
that concerns over the distributive fairness of policy instruments, the riskiness of
policy, and the trust of individuals in the government all played a role in determining
citizen engagement decisions. These results suggest a falsification of the prediction by
Group Engagement Theory that the primary motivating factor of individual group engagement
decisions perceptions of procedural justice.

First-Party Source. Any publication sponsored and/or developed by individuals or
organizations in support of, or opposed to, an alternative solution is legitimate, and
probably contains documented facts. However, in the Exploratory Committee's opinion
it is opinion, perhaps well regarded professional opinion, if it does not meet the
standard of verifiability. Some standards follow.

- The following is an example of a scientific voter opinion
survey study that the authors of Study Design conclude does not meet the Study
Designs standard for verifiability. The example was taken from a Study Design

- Section VII.C.1. Non-Independent Funding/Publishing
First-Party Source. Any publication sponsored and/or developed by an organization in
support of, or opposed to, an alternative solution is legitimate, and probably contains
documented facts. However, in this case the publication is clearly not independent of the
subject "alternative solution" that the organization has an interest in opposing
or promoting. A local example was a public safety survey by Strategy Research Institute
(SRI) sponsored and paid for by Community United for Safety (CUFS) in support of the 2015
JO CO tax levy (i.e., the primary public survey was funded by a first-party
non-independent source, CUFS).

- Strategy Research Institute (SRI) is a business that, in
part, designs and oversees information for persuasive campaigns. SRI is an authority in
campaign development and implementation (i.e., findings from public opinion research
conducted by SRI showed that the survey funder could capitalize upon a set of core values
held by local voters).
- Strategy Research Institute (SRI), an
Institute for Consensus Building (http://www.sri-consulting.org/). The following are

- "The graphic below holds [a fawn (deer) with
the captions - Fawn Memories of One Public Agency and Pleas help . . . Save my
playground!] Fawn memories for One public agency that commissioned SRI to
determine the feasibility of securing 2/3 voter support for a $225 million tax initiative
for the protection of parks, trails, open space, and wild life; while simultaneously
saving the local metropolitan zoo from being closed to the general public. Findings from public
opinion research conducted by SRI showed that the Agency could capitalize upon a set
of core values held by local voters. The payoff? This Agency, and its constituents, are
today enjoying the benefits from overwhelming voter support for this tax initiative. This
is only one of many examples of how SRIs highly seasoned and credentialed
behavioral scientists and strategic planners are experts at the design and implementation
of applied research and consulting tailored to the needs and desires of its Clientele;
whether it be Cities, Counties, School Districts, regional government agencies, state
agencies, what-have-you. When you want or need reliable (accurate) and valid (truthful)
input from any of the many publics you serve, SRI stands ready to help!"

- "You predicted that if we followed your
recommendations (based upon a scientifically conducted telephone survey) that our bond
measure would be approved by 79% of the voters. We followed your recommendations quite
closely, and the measure was approved by 78.7% of the voters. Pretty impressive." Mr.
Hal Cronkite, (then) Assistant City Manager City of Berkeley.
- The CUFS 2014 scientific voter opinion survey was not
found on its web site, and there were no references in the record how a copy could be
obtained. Therefore, independent observations could not be made by the authors of Study
Design. For example, besides secondary news articles in TGPDC, the public could not
access the survey. The purpose was to independently verify that the tax rate of $1.40 per
$1,000 of assessed property value matched the voiced needs of JO CO voters with the amount
of property taxes they were willing to pay. Because it was, in effect, anonymous; it did
not exist and would probably not be useable in the Study.
-
- CUFS was also the sponsor of the survey, and was clearly
not independent of the safety levy that it had an interest in promoting. To verify that a
subject is important, only a source that is independent of the subject can provide a
reliable evaluation. A source too close to the subject will usually believe that the
subject is important enough to warrant detailed coverage, and relying exclusively upon
this source could present a conflict of interest, and a threat to a studys
neutrality.
-
- The authors, of Study Design, position on
verifiability does not mean that the CUFS voter opinion survey was not a reliable
(accurate) and valid (truthful) survey. It only means that the opinion survey does not
meet the Study Designs standard for verifiability (i.e., the survey would not
be useable in the Study except with many qualifiers). This conclusion will be
assessed by the Study Team (Appendix C4, Vetted Inventories information
standards).
-
- The following is another example, from work by Securing Our
Safety (SOS). The SOS is a non-profit 501(c)(3), citizen-led organization dedicated to the
mission of providing for a secure, stable, and sustainable future for Josephine County,
Oregon (http://securingoursafety.org/). When SOS was formed in 2012, its first goal was to
gather information from JO CO citizens on levels of service they wanted in their criminal
justice system and their thoughts on the ways the proper resources to law enforcement
could be provided.
-
- The SOS, like CUFS, was the sponsor of information, that
were clearly not independent of the four proposed JO CO public safety levies, that it had
an interest in promoting. The authors of Study Design conclude some SOS studies
will meet, and some will not meet, the Study Designs standard for
verifiability. This conclusion will be assessed by the Study Team (Appendix C4, Vetted
Inventories information standards)
