This specific title was designated to reflect meritorious projects that had qualities transferable to other agencies. This project involved (1) developing methodology for conducting a nationwide evaluation of "Promising Projects;" (2) documenting the methodology in a handbook for future self-evaluation by agencies; and (3) evaluating over 2,000 Law Enforcement Assistance Administration projects nationwide by analyzing self-report data, questionnaires, and follow-up telephone surveys.
