Abstract

THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANT WAS FUNDED BY LEAA AND COVERED SIX AREAS: CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE INFORMATION CENTER ON STANDARDS AND GOALS; A PROVISION FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE; PREPARATION OF THE BROCHURE 'HOW TO DIAGNOSE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN YOUR STATE AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT'; DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WORKSHOP; DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF A WORKSHOP FOR BAR PRESIDENTS AND BAR EXECUTIVES; AND CONVENING OF THE JOINT ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON STANDARDS AND GOALS. THE EVALUATION FOUND THAT THE INFORMATION FUNCTION WAS EFFECTIVELY ADMINISTERED, AND THAT THERE WERE INDICATIONS OF GOOD IMPACT. IT ALSO FOUND THAT THE SECTION HAD REACHED A WIDE RANGE OF GROUPS THROUGH ITS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES. MUCH OF THE EFFORT FOCUSED ON INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICES. THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WORKSHOP, THE EVALUATION SAYS, WAS WELL PLANNED AND EFFECTIVELY EXECUTED....BDS
