Conflict versus Consensus Models in Policy Evaluation and Implementation.

Palumbo, Dennis J.; Hallett, Michael A.

Evaluation and Program Planning, v16 n1 p11-23 Jan-Mar 1993

Traditional evaluation approaches assume that consensus can be reached among policymakers, managers, and staff about goals that should guide a program. Evaluations of juvenile detention facilities and a home arrest program illustrate that consensus is not always possible. A constructionist evaluation approach is recommended for such situations.
