Abstract

ABSTRACT Drawing on lessons learned from recently completed formative evaluations of police co-led CVE programming in Toronto, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta, this research aims to underscore the importance of, and provide technical guidance on, evaluation and reporting standards in the context of multi-agency CVE programming – which ultimately will help to facilitate the identification and replication of good practice. The results of the evaluative process highlight the need for greater articulation regarding intended program outcomes as well as program theorising regarding the underlying mechanisms that connect program activities and outputs with said intended outcomes. Both evaluations also demonstrated the importance of prioritising collaboration at both the evaluation-level and the program-level to facilitate successful and robust program implementation. As such, this study also yields findings that speak to the beneficial role that the evaluative process itself can play in facilitating the evolution of CVE programming.

从加拿大警方共同领导的打击暴力极端主义方案的双站点形成性评估中汲取的经验教训

摘要:根据最近在安大略省多伦多和阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里完成的警察联合领导的CVE规划形成性评估的经验教训，本研究旨在强调在多机构CVE规划背景下评估和报告标准的重要性，并提供技术指导，最终将有助于促进识别和复制良好做法。评估过程的结果突出表明，需要对计划预期结果进行更清晰的表述，并对将计划活动和产出与预期结果联系起来的潜在机制进行计划理论化。这两项评估还证明了在评估级别和计划级别优先合作的重要性，以促进成功和稳健的计划实施。因此，本研究也得出了一些结果，说明了评估过程本身在促进CVE编程的发展中所起的有益作用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism (JPICT) is an international peer reviewed scholarly journal that acts as a forum for those around the world undertaking high quality research and practice in the areas of: Policing studies, Intelligence studies, Terrorism and counter terrorism studies; Cyber-policing, intelligence and terrorism. The Journal offers national, regional and international perspectives on current areas of scholarly and applied debate within these fields, while addressing the practical and theoretical issues and considerations that surround them. It aims to balance the discussion of practical realities with debates and research on relevant and significant theoretical issues. The Journal has the following major aims: To publish cutting-edge and contemporary research articles, reports and reviews on relevant topics; To publish articles that explore the interface between the areas of policing, intelligence and terrorism studies; To act as an international forum for exchange and discussion; To illustrate the nexus between theory and its practical applications and vice versa.
