Abstract

Research on evidence-based correctional practices notes the critical importance of program implementation in assessing program effectiveness. In this article, the authors describe the implementation of a training program to improve officer-offender interactions in the federal probation system. They use several sources of information to assess implementation strategies and the success of those efforts within a single federal district.
