URBAN INSTITUTE Justice Policy Center National Youth Court Center: Evaluation Workshop October Measurement Issues Relevance and precision Simplicity Balance “Road-test” measures

URBAN INSTITUTE Justice Policy Center National Youth Court Center: Evaluation Workshop October 2002 Question Wording is an Art Question #1: I can always talk to my teachers about problems with my school work. Problem: Terms such as "always" and "never" create response bias. If respondents can talk to teachers 90% of the time, which answer should they choose? Strongly Don’t Strongly Disagree Disagree Know Agree Agree SD D DK A SA

URBAN INSTITUTE Justice Policy Center National Youth Court Center: Evaluation Workshop October 2002 Question Wording is an Art Question #2: Community work service and restitution payments are effective with youth. Problem: Which part are respondents answering, community service or restitution? They may agree with one and not the other, but the evaluator will never know. The question becomes useless from a research point of view. Strongly Don’t Strongly Disagree Disagree Know Agree Agree SD D DK A SA

URBAN INSTITUTE Justice Policy Center National Youth Court Center: Evaluation Workshop October 2002 Question Wording is an Art Question #3: The courtroom is hectic during teen court. Problem: Question employs a negative image. Respondents may think their courtroom is busy, but not “hectic.” Researchers won’t know what a “disagree” response actually means. Strongly Don’t Strongly Disagree Disagree Know Agree Agree SD D DK A SA
