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. 606 $aCrime prevention$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of$zUnited States$xEvaluation 615 0$aCrime prevention$xEvaluation. 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of$xEvaluation. 676 $a364.40973 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Improving Evaluation of Anti-Crime Programs. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Law and Justice. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974775503321 996 $aImproving evaluation of anticrime programs$94363653 997 $aUNINA
