| dc.description.notes | To date there is little evidence about whether or not perpetrator programmes are effective. While most evaluations have employed quasi-experimental designs, there are difficulties in achieving equivalent comparison groups. Outlines the outcomes of two experimental programme evaluations funded by the National Institute of Justice, in New York and South Florida, where little or no evidence of programme effect was demonstrated. Argues that these attempts to evaluate perpetrator programmes using an experimental design provide important information about designing evaluations in this complex area. Outlines the issues which arose in implementing the studies (such as challenges within the legal system to random allocation to treatment and control groups) and a number of design issues, such as choice of outcome measures. Suggests that these experimental results are open to three possible interpretations: that perpetrator programmes do not work, or add little to arrest, court action, and probation; that these programmes need to be improved, since this is a relatively new area of intervention; or that these programmes alone are not an answer, but must be part of a co-ordinated community response, and that their success will therefore reflect the effectiveness of the system in which they are located in ensuring the accountability of perpetrators ( e.g. swift response to drop outs and re-offending). Concludes by arguing for greater attention to be paid to programme context. | en |
