Concept Paper
As a result of the unstable social set up and spread of public
knowledge of matters of sex, there have been changes in the
legal aspect of the crime. Particularly, the changes touch on the
rules of evidence and procedures, policing techniques as a result
of technology, investigations exercises as well as prosecution of
the victims. Besides, the term sex crime has been legally
broadened to encompass the ordinary crimes such rape and
molestation of children as well as the distribution of child
pornography, lewd act with a child, and penetration of the
genital or anal region on a foreign object as observed by
Brownmiller (2015). As such, the expansiveness of the term
increases the probability of the juvenile cases on sexual-based
crimes. Indeed, the exposure to pornographic content online
aggravates the rates of committing these crimes among people

2. aged between 10-17 years (Burke, 2012).
To counter the rate of re-offence among those treated with for
sexually based crimes; the study will present a feasible analysis
of an expansion service projected to provide Mental Health
Services for the youths within the Juvenile Justice System on
sex crime accounts. Besides, these services are limited due to
insufficient facilities and high charges. Thus, the study will test
the essence of having Tele-psychiatry as a way to support the
youth within the first 12 months of release. The report will
conduct a feasibility study on the expansion project using such
indicator as the market, finance, operation of the inpatient and
outpatient as well as analyzing the facility and services outlook.
Finally, it will make a decision based on the findings of the
feasibility analysis.
Evaluating Feasibility
The section will entail analysis of such factors as the human
resources, community needs, and technological advances,
federal and state regulatory issues to make a valid case for the
expansion project. The ensuing discussion presents the
information required to test for feasibility of the Mental Health
Service Facility. The analysis will be based on the SWOT
analysis illustrated below.
S.W.O.T Analysis
Strengths: The strengths for the Mental Health Service Facility
would be skilled human resources. Finance there will be an
increment in expense due to the maintenance costs of the
facility and the various fees paid on annual basis. However, the
construction expense is fixed while the maintenance cost for
salaried workers is variable costs.
Weaknesses: The weaknesses are the high cost of implementing
the program. Making sure that patients adhere to the program
provided to them.

3. Opportunities: Technology and incremental revenue
opportunities. There would be an induced demand skilled human
resources. There could be a high cost for new policies and
technology for telepsychology. Thereby, providing the facility
will qualify staff will fill the already existing gap in the
community as shown by the SWOT analysis.
Threats: A threat for the Mental Health Service Facility would
be competition from surrounding facilities in the area. The
incremental cost of keeping the program going. Threats with
strengths would be affordable services. This includes having
skilled human resources to keep up with competition. Threats
that could be weaknesses would be having to reduce impatient
congestion because of high incremental cost
Strategic Effect
The section will analyze the effect of the public policy on the
project as well as recommend policies that would empower the
counseling and monitoring programs. Besides, it will determine
the effects of population on targeted market and its priority.
Public Policy
The public policies for juvenile offenders are intricate such as
the Juvenile Registration and the Restriction as well as
Residency restriction will are vital in keeping the offenders
increasing the attendance of the counseling sessions. Notably,
these policies will also increase the number of inpatients.
Measure the of effectiveness
The effectiveness of counseling and monitoring will be assessed
based on records to support the improvement claims. For
instance, regularity in attending the counseling sessions as well
as the nonresistance of the offenders to carry out the assessment
tests will show improved results. Moreover, the observing by
the supervision officers will also show the level of
accomplishment attained in a given time.Market priority
The population and its constituents will form the basis for the
market priority. As such, densely populated areas require more
counseling and monitoring than less dense areas. For instance,
slums with poor housing, low literacy levels, and disposable

4. income have high cases of sexual assaults.
Market Analysis
The population of United States according to the 2010 census
was 308.7 million people. This represents an estimated growth
of 9.7 percent from the previous census carried out in the year
2000. Figure.2 indicates that 9.7 juvenile arrested on account of
sex crime per 100,000 people. Thus, we can estimate the current
demand for the counseling service. Thus, as the population
grows so does the demand for the Mental Hospital services.
The estimated U.S. population in the year 2014 was
317,297,938 million. Therefore, at the time the juvenile
offenders amounted to; (317,297,938/100,000)* 9.7 = 30777
cases in the year 2014.
Financial Analysis
The estimated expansion cost for 200 beds facilities is estimated
at 200 million dollars which will come from the government,
donors, senior hospitals as well as special projects. However,
there are economic limitations implied by the diverse finance
sources due to the stringent regulation and compliance
requirements. Based on the SWOT analysis, there will be an
increment in expense due to the maintenance costs of the
facility and the various fees paid on annual basis.
Operations Performance
The fact that the expansion is functioning under the main
hospital makes it hard for determination of the cost drivers
complicated. Thus, the accountant would have to structure the
accounts to different components to make the analysis goal-
oriented and understandable.
Inpatient
The project number of patients average at 150 with a span of
two months. Thus, the facility will handle 900 in patients
within the first year after the expansion is complete.
Comparatively, the facility will have a capacity of 200 beds.
Thus; it will operate below the capacity in the first year.
Outpatient
After the discharge of the inpatient, they will constitute the

5. outpatients to continue with the treatment. This will reduce the
congestion and keep the treatment of the offenders consistent to
generate high outcomes. Thus, the revenues and expenses of the
outpatient will be lower than inpatient.
Outlook
The government effort to increase patients' satisfaction through
advocating for technology application and introducing premium
payment will increase the demand for the facility services. As
such, with the current staff and resources, there is a foreseeable
congestion in the five years’ time, which calls for the
improvement of the outpatient program to overcome this
challenge.
Conclusion
The findings of this report indicate that the project is feasible
regarding market, operation, finance as well as the serving the
needs of the community among other tests. As such,
implementation of the expansion project to include Mental
Health Service for youths within the Juvenile System
that receive treatment for the sexually based crimes and cannot
access mental health treatment upon release.
