[edit] Introduction
The Department of Peace and Nonviolence will have the advantage of taking a broad perspective that is less restricted in scope than its Partner Departments. As a result, it will be able to identify and apply comprehensive "Best Practices."
There are a number of organizations that specialize in the evaluation of effectiness of inervention programs.
- For example, the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV) in Boulder, Colorado has been involved in the identification and evaluation of several hundred "intervention programs." A program that has been proven to be effective is considered a "Blueprint" program by CSPV - whereas a program that appears to have a sound basis but lacks critical evaluation is considered a "Promising" program.
- For example one program that is considered by CSPV to be a "promising" program and appears to include a systemic/holistic approach is "Weed and Seed" by the Department of Justice.
