violence, along with practical suggestions for conducting such
evaluations.

| Abstract: |
The presenters provide tips and suggestions for developing
evaluation goals and objectives, for developing measurements, and
for the analysis of the findings. They also discuss some of the
complex issues involved in sharing the results of an evaluation,
as well as in negotiating and interpreting findings. Other issues
discussed are safety considerations, problems in evaluating
services to under-served populations (minorities and other
marginalized groups), human subject issues, when an outside
evaluator should be used, and guidelines for selecting an outside
evaluator. The final issue addressed is collaboration between
researchers and service providers. This requires ongoing
negotiation, beginning with the conceptualization of the
evaluation and continuing until all phases of the evaluation are
completed. The service provider must feel comfortable with the
evaluation goals and techniques so far as their impact on clients
is concerned. The evaluator, on the other hand, must be confident
that the evaluation goals can be achieved and that the techniques
used provide the data and information needed to reach the
evaluation goals. For the first part of this two-part
presentation, see NCJ-184567
