| Abstract: |
The funds provided to the States under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 are designed to assist in planning, establishing, operating, coordinating, and evaluating projects to develop more effective programs in the area of delinquency. This approach allows communities throughout the State the opportunity to respond to delinquency in ways appropriate to their needs. This report is part of an ongoing effort to see what works, so that exemplary programs can be replicated in other areas. All 16 direct client service programs evaluated in this report had major educational components and were evaluated on client educational performance. Each program was evaluated on three major criteria: whether the program met its proposed objectives, whether there were statistically significant changes or other improvements in selected performance indicators as a result of the program; and whether there were reductions in the numbers and rates of arrests during and after the program. This evaluation report describes programs and the progress they have made toward realizing their intended outcomes. For each project there are a brief program description; a demographic profile of the clients served; measures of project progress; a summary of clients' arrest histories before, during, and after the program; and a discussion of whether or not program objectives were met. 38 charts and 40 tables |
