Annotation

THIS REPORT PRESENTS A SINGLE PROJECT EVALUATION DESIGN FOR USE ON LOCAL INTENSIVE SPECIAL PROBATION (ISP) PROJECTS.

Abstract

ITS PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE FORMATIVE INFORMATION AT THE LOCAL LEVEL TO BETTER AID IN CARRYING OUT THE PROJECT AND TO PROVIDE USEFUL INFORMATION TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO AID IN THE ALLOCATION OF LOCAL RESOURCES TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS. THE EVALUATION PLAN FOCUSES ON BOTH PROJECT OUTCOMES AND PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND IS DEVELOPED AROUND A GENERAL FRAMEWORK FOR ISP PROJECTS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE PLAN IS NOT FOR A SPECIFIC TYPE OF ISP PROJECT BUT RATHER CONSISTS OF SELF-CONTAINED EVALUATION MODULES THAT CAN BE USED WHEN APPLICABLE. THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FLOW MEASUREMENT MODEL IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY THE SEQUENCE OF PROCESSES LEADING TO PROJECT OUTCOMES. FOR THE OTHER SIX SECTIONS OF THIS PROJECT, SEE NCJ-40511 THROUGH 40513 AND 40515-40517....MSP
