The Outlook is G.R.E.A.T.: What Educators Say About School-Based Prevention and the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) Program
Peterson, Dana; Esbensen, Finn-Aage
Evaluation Review, v28 n3 p218-245 Jun 2004
This article reports on a survey of administrators, counselors, and teachers from middle schools involved in the National Evaluation of the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program. This survey was part of a multisite evaluation that also elicited the responses of students, parents, and officers teaching the G.R.E.A.T. program. School personnel provide their views about important current issues, including their perceptions of school safety, the role of law enforcement officers in schools, and the role and effectiveness of school-based prevention programs in general and the G.R.E.A.T. program in particular. Results from this survey have important implications for the plethora of prevention programs currently located in American schools.
