METHODOLOGY, EFFORT LEVELS, AND SCHEDULE FOR A MODEL TO MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SIX FIRST OFFENDER REHABILITATION PROJECTS.

Abstract

THE PROGRAMS INVOLVED ARE LOCATED IN BALTIMORE, BOSTON, THE CALIFORNIA BAY AREA, CLEVELAND, MINNEAPOLIS, AND SAN ANTONIO. EACH PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO FIRST OFFENDER MISDEMEANANTS AND A SMALL NUMBER OF FELONY OFFENDERS AND EX-INMATES. THIS PLAN WOULD ASSESS THE IMPACT OF PROGRAM STRATEGIES AND COMPONENTS ON PARTICIPANTS, THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND THE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES CONNECTED WITH EACH PROJECT. THE EVALUATION DESIGN EMPHASIZES THE NEED FOR COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND PERIODIC REPORTS ON PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS. AN APPENDIX OUTLINES THE COURSE OF THE RECOMMENDED COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE. FOR THE SECOND VOLUME IN THIS STUDY, WHICH EXPLAINS THE OPERATIONS REVIEW AND MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THE PRE-TRIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM, SEE NCJ-003159. THE PROPOSAL BY A.B.T. ASSOCIATES TO CONDUCT THE EVALUATION IS CONTAINED IN NCJ-003160.
