Measuring jail programs effect on reducing recidivism is important because tax dollars are paying for programs and public safety depends on their effectiveness. But what does it actually mean to be evidence-based? How do we know if a program is actually reducing recidivism or not? What is a ‘fidelity review’ and how is that different than measuring recidivism? Why does how you measure a program matter, and why does measuring programs matter if they are already evidence-based? And finally, how can your jail properly measure jail programs? There are a lot of ways to measure programs incorrectly. But there are only a few ways to do it right and can be done in-house without hiring a consultant. This seminar will show jail administrators how to properly measure programs’ impact on recidivism, and more. This seminar is designed to offer jails cutting edge approaches to programs evaluations that you would normally pays hundreds of thousands of dollars for a university researcher to do. The seminar will also explain the difference between an output and and outcome, how to properly do a cost benefit analysis, and how to use the results of a program that is not working to your advantage.
