Describe the type of evaluation you would conduct. In your post, consider and discuss: (a) who your comparison group would be to determine whether the curfew law is effective; (b) the data you would collect and/or analyze to measure changes in crime rates; and (c) how you would investigate the degree to which the curfew law was being implemented and enforced as intended.
Your initial must be a minimum of 250 words. Support your post with examples from your required reading material and/or other scholarly sources, using the Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) document.
