Abstract
At the heart of the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) approach to evaluation is the use of rigorous research methods, such as randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-experimental designs, to find out whether an intervention, project or activity is effective.
This report outlines the administrative data that are available that is likely to be of use to those conducting evaluations of YEF-funded interventions. The purpose of the document is to inform evaluators of the key strengths and weaknesses of such data and how to approach arranging access to the data to support evaluation. We hope it will be useful to evaluators carrying out YEF evaluations that have crime or violence outcomes as primary or secondary outcomes, as well as other researchers wishing to make use of this administrative data.
