Abstract: This survey is being conducted as a part of an evaluation
of OJJDPs JJRRI Demonstration Program. In 2012, OJJDP commissioned a
36-month evaluation of the Juvenile Justice Reform and Reinvestment
Initiative (JJRRI) Demonstration Program. The JJRRI Demonstration
Program provides funds to three states and/or local administering
agencies for juvenile justice to develop and implement an integrated
set of evidence-based and cost-measurement tools that will enable them
to make informed decisions about resources and services for juvenile-
justice involved youth.
The Urban Institute (UI) is conducting a comprehensive evaluation
of JJRRI to determine whether the initiative has had the intended
effect of improving program- and cost-effectiveness. As part of this
evaluation, UI will conduct two web-based surveys with key stakeholders
at each site to measure changes in attitudes towards evidence-based
practices as a result of the JJRRI Demonstration Program.
The main objective of this web-based survey is to measure juvenile
justice stakeholder--agency leadership and staff--support for use and
knowledge of Evidence-Based Practice's in the three sites selected to
be JJRRI Demonstration Programs. Two surveys will be conducted by UI to
measure stakeholder

support and knowledge of evidence-based practices. The first survey
will assess baseline attitudes of EBPs. The second survey will measure
the extent to which context and attitudes change through the
initiative.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is
estimated that 480 respondents will complete a 20 minute questionnaire.
