While many policymakers, researchers, and practitioners\r\nexpress confidence in the task force approach generally, there remains\r\ninsufficient understanding of the possible community and organizational\r\nimpact of individual MJTFs and the kinds of evaluation methodologies\r\nthat can elicit such information. The goal of this project was to\r\nidentify several methodologies that could be used by state planning\r\nagencies, task forces, and others to assess the work of MJTFs. This\r\nproject consisted of two surveys that were designed to ascertain the\r\nextent to which state administrative agencies (SAAs) and\r\nmulti-jurisdictional drug task forces (MJTFs) collected various kinds of\r\nprocess and outcome information and conducted evaluations of task\r\nforces.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03865.v1", "title": "Evaluation of Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces in the United States, 1999-2000"}], "identifier": "3047", "issued": "2004-04-28T00:00:00", "keyword": ["criminal justice programs", "drug law enforcement", "grants", "law enforcement", "program evaluation"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Evaluation of Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces in the United States, 1999-2000"}
