Title:
Development and Pilot Test of the RAND Program Evaluation Toolkit for Countering Violent Extremism
Report Date:
2017-01-01
Abstract:
The White House's 2016 Strategic Implementation Plan for Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States recommends "proactive actions to counter efforts by extremists to recruit, radicalize, and mobilize followers to violence." Such actions should seek to address the conditions and reduce the underlying factors that give rise to radicalization and recruitment (Executive Office of the President, 2016, p. 2). Evaluations are critical to assessing the impact of programs focused on countering violent extremism (CVE) and can inform decisions about whether to sustain, scale up, or discontinue program activities. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Office of Community Partnerships asked the RAND Corporation to create a toolkit to guide future evaluations of community-initiated CVE activities and programs. The overall goal of the toolkit is to help those responsible for CVE programs determine whether their activities produce beneficial effects, to identify areas for improvement, and, ultimately, to guide the responsible allocation of scarce resources.
