Abstract
PROBATION WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR ADMISSION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED PROGRAM, ALLOWING FOR THE DISPOSITION OF EITHER FORMAL OR INFORMAL PROBATION. THE INTENSIVE COUNSELING EXPERIENCE WAS ACHIEVED BY LIMITING CASELOAD SIZE AND BY CONTRACTING FOR THAT REHABILITATIVE SERVICES WERE DETERMINED TO BE NECESSARY BUT COULD NOT BE PROVIDED BY PROJECT STAFF OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED IN THE COMMUNITY. THE EVALUATION METHODOLOGY INVOLVED A SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROJECT BY STAFF SUPERVISORS.
