A juvenile court is assessing the impact of a diversion program. This
diversion program curtails the use of secure confinement and increases
the use of informal sanctions for minor delinquents. The evaluation shows
that keeping minor delinquents out of secure confinements would not
significantly increase the crime rate. The crime rate would remain stable
because there are very few juveniles who would be eligible to participate
in the diversion program. A citizen who is concerned about wasting
financial resources argues that before conducting an evaluation of impact,

The National Institute of Justice would like to request proposals for the
evaluation of a police department's mandatory arrest policy for domestic
violence. The Institute is interested in a wide array of evaluation research.
Describe four research projects that could significantly enhance our
understanding of the effect of mandatory arrest policies for domestic
violence. More precisely, describe one research project to evaluate impact,
one to evaluate need, one to evaluate process, and one to evaluate
efficiency.
Selected
Answer: Mandatory arrest policies is something that was put in place in
the whole country after years of neglect and the questionable
use of police discreation in domestic violence cases. The
positive effect from the evaluations have led to there being
changes in policy. the four research projects that could
significantly enhance our understanding of the effect of
mandatory arrest are implementation of intervention, crime
mapping, interviewing the victims and the offender and
collecting data that involves the recidivism rates. The reason
why implentation of intervention would help is because it can
evaluate the impact. Crime mapping would help because it
would evaluate how much intervention was needed and in what
areas. interviews with the victims and offenders would help
because it would assist in evaluating the process and to see the
accurary of the self reporting possibly and getting data about
recidivism would help determine whether or not the program is
efficent enough.
