This volume examines the problem of null or negative evaluation
findings, a topic rarely discussed in the literature but all too
commonplace in the experience of evaluators. "The Southern
California Center of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention,"
housed in the "Robert Presley Center for Crime and Justice Studies"
at the "University of California, Riverside," has taken up the
challenge to discuss candidly evaluation efforts that can be
described only as challenging.
The individual chapters discuss a range of design,
implementation, and analysis issues relevant not only to evaluation
studies but also to interventions that can contribute to negative
or null findings in the evaluation of an intervention program.
These problems that are the realities of life for anyone who
conducts prevention and intervention research are typically the
stuff of research seminar comments and barroom digressions late in
the evening at professional meetings. This issue brings those
important lessons into the larger discussion that will influence
prevention science and public policy. The contributors to this
volume not only admit a set of problems and shortcomings but also
attempt to draw general lessons, cautions, and advice for those who
evaluate prevention and intervention efforts.
This is the 110th volume of "New Directions for Evaluation," a
quarterly journal published by Jossey-Bass.
