Released in 2000, this monograph from the Justice department's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) "has been produced to make proven state and local programs more accessible to planners and practitioners alike." The document is divided into two sections. The first evaluates the effectiveness of a number of approaches to various issues in the criminal justice system, including a school-based probation plan in Pennsylvania, the Multnomah County STOP Drug Diversion program in Oregon, an alternative incarceration program in Utah, and several others. The second part is a summary of "evaluations of state and local multijurisdictional task forces funded by the BJA." The table of contents is not hyperlinked, so users must scroll down to the section they wish to peruse.
