Project Details

The research project will develop a best practice evaluation guide for male perpetrator programs in Australia. The development of the best practice evaluation guide will be informed by three main activities, including a literature review, case study examples and ongoing input from a review panel.

The evaluation guide will enable users to:

• understand the purposes of conducting comprehensive realist evaluations of perpetrator programs;
• be able to develop and articulate appropriate evaluation questions to be answered by the evaluation;
• know the essential elements that must be included in their evaluation;
• understand methodological needs of their perpetrator program evaluation;
• be aware of the complexities of designing a comprehensive evaluation of perpetrator program within given constraints.
