It begins by looking at the purpose of evaluation within criminal justice systems as a historical and conceptual background. Methods outlined for evaluating criminal justice focus on educating readers about the design decisions they may face as evaluators, enabling them to make informed decisions when choosing designs that are not necessarily optimal. It raises the question of who evaluation is for, and a clearly informed discussion of the importance of the full range of stakeholders involved in evaluation and the potential impact of participating in evaluations on different stakeholders is presented. With insight into successful and unsuccessful evaluation from the perspective of those who are being evaluated, and a critical examination of the methodological and conceptual difficulties involved in identifying 'effects', this book concludes by looking ahead to the future of criminal justice evaluation. 410 0$aAdvances in program evaluation ;$vv. 13. 606 $aEducation$xEvaluation$2bisacsh 606 $aOrganization & management of education$2bicssc 606 $aRehabilitation of offenders$2bicssc 606 $aCrime & criminology$2bicssc 606 $aCorrections$xEvaluation 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of 615 7$aEducation$xEvaluation. 615 7$aOrganization & management of education. 615 7$aRehabilitation of offenders. 615 7$aCrime & criminology. 615 0$aCorrections$xEvaluation. 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of. 676 $a364 701 $aBowen$b Erica$f1976-$0522088 701 $aBrown$b Sarah$0750175 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910672259503321 996 $aPerspectives on evaluating criminal justice and corrections$93043261 997 $aUNINA
