Preventing the Misuse of Evaluation.

Stevens, Carla J., Ed.; Dial, Micah, Ed.

New Directions for Program Evaluation, n64 p1-87 Win 1994

This theme issue discusses the misuse of evaluation. The eight articles all discuss instances in which the evaluation process or evaluation findings were misused. Misuse is usually not the result of methodological issues but rather is an issue of human relations and sometimes of political pressure. (SLD)
