This document discusses evaluation research and problem analysis in criminal justice. It defines evaluation research as seeking to evaluate the impact of interventions and problem analysis as helping officials choose alternative actions. It describes the policy process and how evaluation research links intended actions and goals to empirical evidence. Different research designs for evaluation are discussed, including randomized experiments and quasi-experimental designs. Problem analysis uses the same research methods as evaluation to analyze problems and responses. The political context of applied research and managing stakeholder interests are also covered.
second practice theory course builds on SWK 501, Generalist Practice with Individuals, Families and Small Groups, extending the concepts of strengths based practice to work with organizations and communities. The relationships between communities and organizations and at risk populations are infused throughout the course. Knowledge, values and skills will be obtained throughout the course. These will be gained through readings, oral and written assignments, and videos.

Whole systems change across a neighbourhood
How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together. Help people grow everyday practices into sustainable projects. Turn people’s everyday motivations into design principles. Support infrastructure that connects different cultures of collaboration. Build relationships with people designing in collaboration for the future…now.

Evaluation Research and Policy Analysis
Chapter 11

Introduction
Evaluation research: refers to a research purpose rather than a specific method; seeks to evaluate the impact of interventions; if some result was produced
Problem analysis: designed to help public officials choose from alternative future actions
Evidence-based policy: actions of justice agencies are linked to evidence used for planning and evaluation
Evidence generation: nonprofit organizations that document and evaluate programing to create evidence that can be shared with others
Appropriate Topics for Evaluation and Problem AnalysisEvaluation research is appropriate whenever some policy intervention occurs or is plannedA policy intervention is action taken for the purpose of producing some intended resultProblem analysis focuses on deciding what intervention should be pursued
Future oriented
Linking the Process to Evaluation
Are policies being implemented as planned?
Are policies achieving their intended goals?
Evaluation seeks to link intended actions and goals of policy to empirical evidence that:
Impact assessment: examines whether policies are having the desired effects
Process evaluation: examines whether policies are being carried out as planned
Often conducted together
Getting Started
Evaluability Assessment – “preevaluation” – researcher determines whether requisite conditions are present
Support from relevant organizations
What goals and objectives are; how they are translated into program components
What kinds of records or data are available
Who has a direct or indirect stake in the program
Problem Formulation and Measurement 1
Different stakeholders often have different goals and views as to how a program should actually operate
Stakeholders: persons and organizations with a direct interest in the program
Must clearly specify program goals – desired outcomes
Create objectives – operationalized statements
Problem Formulation and Measurement 2
Definition and measurement – specify target/beneficiary population, decide between using current measures or creating new ones
Measure program contexts, outcomes, program delivery
Designs for Program Evaluation
Randomized evaluation designs – avoids selection bias, allows assumption that groups created by random assignment are statistically equivalent; may not be suitable when agency or staff makes exceptions
Caseflow – represents process through which subjects are accumulated into experimental and control groups
Treatment integrity – whether an experimental intervention is delivered as intended; ≈ reliability
Threatened by midstream changes in program
Conditions Requisite for Randomized Experiments
Staff must accept random assignment and agree to minimize exceptions to randomization
Caseflow must produce enough subjects in E and C for statistical tests
Experimental interventions must be consistently applied to E and withheld from C
Need equivalence prior to intervention, and ability to detect ...
