Within offices, the research focuses on a separate but related issue; namely, the causes of disagreement in decisions among individual prosecutors themselves and in relation to their organizational leaders. A quasi-experimental design employing a before/after test was used, the identical instrument was employed on both occasions.Item Prosecutorial Decisionmaking: A National Study(U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice, 1982-01) Jacoby, Joan E.; Mellon, Leonard R.; Ratledge, Edward C.; Turner, Stanley H.This report, Prosecutorial Decision-making: A National Study is one of four published as a result of a three-year research project on prosecutorial decision-making in the United States. It presents the major findings of testing over 800 prosecutors throughout the United States. It examines prosecutorial discretion, its levels of uniformity and consistency both within and between offices and the factors used by prosecutors in making discretionary decisions.Item Policy and Prosecution(U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice, 1982-01) Jacoby, Joan E.; Mellon, Leonard R.; Smith, Walter F.This report presents a conceptual model for analyzing the prosecutive decision-making function from a policy perspective; summarizes the findings of a comparative examination of ten prosecutors' offices; and supplements the results of the on-site studies with information gathered by a nationwide survey of eighty urban prosecutors.Item The Standard Case Set: A Tool for Criminal Justice Decisionmakers(U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice, 1982-01) Jacoby, Joan E.; Mellon, Leonard R.; Turner, Stanley H.; Ratledge, Edward C.This report explains how the set of standard cases can be used by an agency for management, training and operations.Item Basic Issues in Prosecution and Public Defender Performance(U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice, 1982-07) Jacoby, Joan E.This report, Performance Measurement for Prosecution and Public Defense, represents the first phase of a long term effort to develop a theory of performance measurement for prosecution and public defense; design and test models for measuring the performance of these two public agencies; and ultimately bring forth a set of measurement principles and guidelines. This first phase addresses solely the theoretical aspects of performance measurement and sets forth a conceptual and theoretical approach for measurement. It defines the scope of the task, the approach that appears most feasible given the complexity and diversity inherent in these public agencies and the utility of performance measurement systems. Once a theoretical base has been established, then it is possible to address the more practical problems of designing and testing measurement systems under actual operating conditions. Thus, this report takes only the first step by providing a foundation for subsequent research.Item Survey of Merchants and Pedestrians in Downtown Wilmington(Center for Applied Demography & Survey Research, 1985-04) Barnekov, Timothy K.; Coscarello, Barbara; Guilfoyle, MichaelItem The Cooperative Extension Service: A Delaware Assessment(Center for Applied Demography & Survey Research, 1985-10) McMillan, Gary; Turner, SusanItem Prevalence Rates and Service Needs of Handicapped Citizens in New Castle County(Center for Applied Demography & Survey Research, 1986-03) Groff, Stephen M.; Helfman, AudreyBetween July of 1985 and January of 1986, research was conducted to estimate the number of handicapped individuals in New Castle County and to determine what service needs of this population are currently not being met.
