How much of a good thing is too much? Explaining the failure of a well‐designed, well‐executed intervention in Juvenile Hall for “hard‐to‐place” delinquents
10.1002/ev.186.abs
This chapter focuses on lessons concerning the design of interventions and the interpretation of outcome and cost‐benefit analyses. An intervention can “fail” due to the implementation of an intervention component in the context of standard treatments, and the interpretation of costs and benefits can change substantially if one considers the alternative long‐term outcomes in the absence of the intervention.
