Improving Evaluation of Anticrime Programs is designed as a working guide for agencies and organizations responsible for program evaluation, for researchers who must design scientifically credible evaluations of government and privately sponsored programs, and for policy officials who are investing more and more in the concept of evidence-based policy to guide their decisions in crucial areas of crime prevention and control.Crime preventionUnited StatesEvaluationCriminal justice, Administration ofUnited StatesEvaluationCrime preventionEvaluation.Criminal justice, Administration ofEvaluation.364.40973National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Improving Evaluation of Anti-Crime Programs.National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Law and Justice.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974775503321Improving evaluation of anticrime programs4363653UNINA
