Collaboration, Commitment, and Conflict. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 304
The 1990s saw the United States government begin
initiatives to align local government domestic
violence policies with federal policy priorities
through grants-in-aid to local programs. This
analysis considers whether a federally funded,
coordinated, inter-jurisdictional, public-private
community response to domestic violence can be
implemented effectively by local government and
private agency decision-makers. Assessment using
implementation, systems, contingency, organizational
culture, and federalism theories determined all
program goals were achieved as originally crafted,
except one in modified form. Program outcomes were
fostered by leaders’ commitment to programmatic
success, experience administering grant funded
programs, and a collaborative community culture. In a
fluctuating environment community organizing efforts
can conquer political considerations to effectively
address criminalized social problems and other
multi-faceted issues. This book provides original
insights into multi-disciplinary program initiatives
for those interested in community organizing, program
evaluation, grant funded initiatives, and the
influence of practitioner outlooks on organizational
culture.
