Unlike other policy-based texts, which tend to focus more on implementation than assessment, this book provides applicable, step-by-step instruction on determining an initiative's necessity prior to its adoption (reducing the risk of wasting resources), as well as how to accurately gauge its effectiveness during initial roll-out stages. The book gradually introduces basic data analysis procedures and statistical techniques, which, once mastered, can be used to prove or disprove a program's worth. Lastly, the book introduces the types of stakeholders who should review evaluation results for quick action, as well as how to best structure reports to ensure their buy-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gennaro Vito, George Higgins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1455777706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781455777709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Gennaro Vito","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935964758271,"sku":"9781455777709","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_86dc417b-039b-4307-b1b1-0cc4f1760bd8.jpg?v=1681422844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/practical-program-evaluation-for-criminal-gennaro-vito-9781455777709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
