Elliott et al.'s essay is part of what is now a series of papers in Criminology and Public Policy on contrasting ways that the evidence base on effective interventions with juvenile offenders can be used to improve juvenile justice programming. Their paper has two themes—(a) a defense of the model programs approach as promoted by the Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development evidence‐based program registry, and (b) an attack on the Standardized Program Evaluation Protocol scheme for assessing programs for juvenile offenders and the meta‐analysis on which it is based. I address both those themes in this commentary in the context of the broader cross‐disciplinary conversation about ways to apply research evidence to improve the effectiveness of the programs used in actual practice.

再探：有效利用有关少年犯方案有效性和示范方案方法失败的大量研究

Elliott等人的文章是“犯罪学和公共政策”系列文章的一部分，该系列文章采用了多种对比方法，即以对少年犯有效干预为基础的证据可用于改善少年司法程序。他们的论文有两个主题：（a）捍卫“健康青年发展蓝图”循证计划注册中心倡导的示范计划方法，以及（b）攻击用于评估少年犯计划的标准化计划评估协议计划以及它所基于的荟萃分析。在广泛的跨学科对话中，我将探讨这两个主题，涉及如何应用研究证据来提高实际实践中所用程序的有效性。
