【 摘 要 】

This thesis examines qualitative and quantitative methods in program evaluation, specifically, a novel community-based treatment program for delinquent state wards. The qualitative portion consists of a discussion of program environments, both theoretical and bureaucratic, and a description of program processes. Included is a case example. The quantitative analysis utilizes a quasi-experimental design to examine program cost effectiveness relative to an existing institutional treatment alternative. Finally, a critique is offered.
