Abstract

This study reports the findings from an interactive research project in which academics and practitioners worked closely together in designing a new, criteria-based assessment tool that enables local municipalities to measure the degree of collaboration, innovation and crime-preventive effect in publicly financed projects intended to keep at-risk youth out of criminal activities. The assessment tool also offers a much-needed opportunity for researchers to study the extent to which cross-boundary collaboration may spur the development of innovative solutions, which in turn may help to prevent youth crime. The key empirical finding is that collaboration has a strong association with public innovation, which in turn has a strong association with the ability of local projects to help prevent crime. The result makes an important contribution to the expanding field of public innovation research in which quantitative studies that combine process evaluation and impact studies are extremely rare.
衡量和评估协同创新在预防犯罪方面的效果
本研究报告了一个互动研究项目的结果,在这个项目中,学者和从业人员密切合作,设计了一个新的、基于标准的评估工具,使地方市政当局能够衡量公共资助项目的合作程度、创新程度和预防犯罪的效果,这些项目旨在使有风险的青少年远离犯罪活动。这项评估工具也为研究人员提供了一个急需的机会,研究跨境合作在多大程度上可以促进创新解决方案的发展,从而有助于预防青少年犯罪。关键的实证发现是,合作与公共创新密切相关,而公共创新又与地方项目帮助预防犯罪的能力密切相关。这一研究成果为不断扩大的公共创新研究领域做出了重要贡献,在这一领域中,结合过程评价和影响研究的定量研究极为罕见。
