Advanced Program Evaluation in Criminal Justice

$149.99

Rigorous program evaluation is distinct from routine performance monitoring, primarily through its focus on establishing causal attribution. This course is built on the principle of decision-driven evaluation design, where methodological choices are directly linked to the informational needs of leadership. For executive-level stakeholders, defensible, unambiguous, and actionable findings are paramount, as methodologically weak evaluations can lead to significant resource misallocation and a loss of institutional credibility. This curriculum integrates theory, design, analysis, and communication to support sound, evidence-based decision-making.
