"What Works" is a concise methods text that represents a new
approach for policy program analysis. The authors, Meier and Gill,
combine statistics with normative concerns. They consider how
things might be, and they focus on subsets of cases that differ
from the norm. Their approach uses regression and methods in a
qualitative, yet rigorous manner.In "What Works," the authors
address questions such as the following: why do some agencies learn
to perform missions faster than others? What factors influence this
learning? In which states do criminal justice policies based on
deterrence work? What do excellent school districts do differently
from those that are simply better than average? Why do some firms
comply with public policy quickly while others wait?The case
examples the authors employ and evaluate are especially helpful.
"What Works" will appeal to anyone seriously interested in policy
analysis, and in learning about--and understanding--new approaches
for policy program analysis.
