Crime prevention for First Nations communities

The nature and form of the evaluation must be anticipated at the program planning stage and should not be considered an ‘add-on’ as the term of the program comes to an end. [...] The content of the manual then needs to be selectively “geared back” and the methods and effort in the evaluation tailored to the significance of your crime prevention program. [...] The planning of the evaluation at the outset of the initiative is par- ticularly important because the evaluation may require certain. [...] Process Evaluation (The means to the end) - The process evaluation allows the evaluator to monitor the implementation and operation of the crime prevention program to assess the effectiveness of its opera- tion. [...] Impact evaluation (Whether the end was achieved) - The Impact evaluation is usually undertaken at the termination of the program to determine the effect of the program.
