Groups profiled in this publication, which was developed and produced with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, include The Arc of the United States, Camp Fire Boys and Girls, National 4-H Council, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The National Crime Prevention Council s newest publication draws on real-life experiences of large and small, urban, suburban, and rural cities to demonstrate how blueprints that engage all sectors of the community can address crime problems. With this guide, communities can learn how to build safer neighborhoods, enhance government and community relationships, improve use of civic resources, increase participation in civic live, expand support for proven prevention and enforcement strategies, and renew economic activity. All orders must be prepaid by check, purchase order, MasterCard, or Visa. As the federal government becomes more aggressive in weeding out fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, having a planned corporate compliance program in place has become increasingly important.
Many groups lack the know-how, tools, and confidence to properly evaluate programs.
The National Crime Prevention Council s new guide provides these tools. The handbook aims to enable readers to establish reasonable goals for evaluation, giving consideration to a program s type and goals, time frame, available resources, and needs of the various stakeholders. The guide takes readers through an actual evaluation, from developing a time-task line and implementing and troubleshooting to analyzing and interpreting data. Filled with tactical information, the book advises on choosing community partners, gives ideas about how to get started, details steps in the development process, and provides lessons learned. The book concludes with an extensive list of national organizations, federal agencies, state refugee coordinators, Internet resources, and sources for additional materials.
