Evaluating Interventions

The activities of this network will be structured around two main themes. First, research will concentrate on the appraisal and evaluation of existing, emergent and possible forms of censure and sanctioning, with particular reference to the emergent community justice model. Second, research will examine on the economics of crime control measures and penal forms. This network will also focus on structures of audit for criminal justice interventions and programmes, the costs of crime, modelling and forecasting in criminal justice and the economics of legal systems. It will aim to understand the implications of the shift from government to governance in terms of the implementation and technologies of crime control and the emergence of new sites of social authority, strategies of punishment and control, and the reconfiguration of state relationships with other bodies.
