Guidelines for Evaluating Community Crime Prevention Projects

The Australian National Crime Prevention Program (NCP) recently released 'Guidelines for Evaluating Community Crime Prevention Projects' (Available for download).  It is designed for people managing small, community-based crime prevention projects and anyone else involved in crime prevention projects, including staff, participants, community groups and funding agencies.


Set out in an easy-to-read, step-by-step format, the guide includes seven stages in the evaluation process:
 
1)  setting up a timetable and budget 
2)  managing stakeholders
3)  scoping the evaluation
4)  planning for action
5)  selecting an evaluator
6)  managing the evaluation
7)  acting on the findings and recommendations.
