Title: Evaluation Summary: Final Results - Stop Now and Plan (SNAP)

Summary: Stop Now And Plan (SNAP) is a community-based program for children ages 6 to 12 who have come into contact, or are at risk of coming into contact, with the criminal justice system, and/or who display early signs of anti-social or aggressive behaviour. The program uses a cognitive-behavioural, multi-component approach to decrease the risks of children engaging in future delinquent behaviour. The SNAP model is based on a comprehensive framework for effctively teaching children with serious behavioural problems, emotional regulation, self-control and problem-solving skills. The core program components include the children's and parent's groups. The SNAP Boys and SNAP Girls offer 12-week gender-specific groups that teach emotion regulation, self-control and problem-solving skills. The concurrent SNAP Parent Group teaches parents effective child management strategies. Other program components include individual counselling/mentoring, family counselling, academic tutoring, youth leadership and a gender-specific component called "Girls Growing Up Healthy". These are recommended based on a continuing assessment of the child's risk and need levels. Although there is evidence regarding the effectiveness of SNAP in Canadian and United States contexts (within accredited mental health centres and community based settings), a further evaluation was conducted to assess the impact the program in a variety of other community-based organizations across Canada (i.e., youth justice, mentoring, and Aboriginal reserves). This summary provides an overview of the multi-site impact evaluation of SNAP that was funded by the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS). The multisite impact evaluation assessed the efficacy of this program in three unique communities (Toronto, Edmonton and Cree Nation - Quebec), contributing to the collective body of knowledge of what works in crime prevention.

Title: The Colorado State Court Administrator's Office Division of Probation Services Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Program Annual Evaluation Report

Summary: Since the early 1990s the Colorado Division of Probation Services (DPS) has been committed to implementing cognitive-behavioral programming as part of their service delivery to probation clients. In the fall of 2008, the State Court Administrator's Office contracted with LeCroy & Milligan Associates, Inc. (LMA) to conduct a three-year implementation and outcome evaluation of the cognitive-behavioral programs being delivered to probation clients across the state's 22 judicial districts. The first year of the evaluation included a literature review of cognitive-behavioral programs and an implementation analysis. The second and third years of the project involve an evaluation of fidelity and outcomes for the two major cognitive-behavioral treatment programs: Thinking for a Change and Why Try.
