Blaming the Victim: The Problem of Evaluation Design and Federal Involvement, and Reinforcing World Views in Education.

Fetterman, David M.

Shows how evaluation design and federal involvement in Youth Employment Demonstration Projects unintentionally cause a negative appraisal. Indicates the problem stems from interaction of the contract research corporation, the educational research establishment, and the federal bureaucracy, rather than a specific methodology or bureaucratic behavior.
