This volume explores how evaluations of problem-oriented policing projects and situational crime prevention projects should be conducted? Topics include: what comprises “state of the art” evaluation? what evaluation designs are most appropriate? what is the role of the controlled experiment in evaluating crime prevention measures? what are the main purposes of evaluation? what minimum standards must be met in an evaluation? how is the integrity of evaluation to be maintained in action research? who should carry out evaluations? what kinds of reviews and syntheses of evidence are most useful? and what is the role of replication in evaluation?
