Project evaluators interpreted progress reports, site visits, program monitors' reports, and community surveys. The projects represented all seven objectives specified in California Assembly Bill 2971, which authorized the California Crime Resistance Task Force. Recruiting and training volunteers and paraprofessionals to carry out local crime prevention efforts was the primary focus of most projects. Additional areas of success included anticrime programs for the elderly, such as victim counseling and home and business security inspections. Other programs were less successful. Public education seminars drew small crowds, and training police officers in community-oriented procedures and crime prevention generally failed because of budgetary limitations and skepticism among officers. The development of new architectural standards and ordinances for crime prevention remained a long-term goal. The first three-quarters of the funding year consumed $92,571, or 29 percent of the available funds, for services that generally approached or surpassed expectations and increased citizen satisfaction. Recommendations are to expand the program and to include a mandatory set of core activities. Appendixes include project summaries, the text of Assembly Bill 2971, and survey instruments in Spanish and English.
