Navy Corrections Program Evaluation Review: Phase I Review of Findings
Abstract
The Navy Correction Program evaluation system has been in place for approximately 10 years, and in that time there have been numerous program changes. This report presents a current review of the evaluation system. Overall, the findings were encouraging. The correctional facilities largely report being in compliance with the evaluation program. A review of the on-going analyses reveals that the majority are being conducted in the same manner. The report also presents areas for improvement. For example, scales currently in use need to be re-validated to ensure they are still relevant and useful. Further, the original evaluation plan called for advanced data mining of the evaluation data, but because of other constraints, such as the huge amount of labor that must be expended to calculate recidivism, in-depth data mining has not been occurring. The report presents possible means of addressing these issues, as well as areas for future research.
