The article presents two types of approach in assessing the results of social work. In the first of these a direct attempt is made to create a formula which can be applied to measure change. This was done in a series of American studies in which the chief workers were J. Hunt and L. S. Kogan. These studies are an attempt to produce something very similar to an attitude "test" in the form of a "movement scale." Thirty-eight cases were selected and analysed in consultation with caseworkers, and a number of major areas of change were abstracted. The Hunt and Kogan studies were designed to produce a reliable measuring rod. They demonstrate conclusively that it is possible to obtain a considerable degree of agreement between social workers in judging the changes taking place in the case. Another approach is the follow-up and prediction studies of offenders where the technique is to start with a criterion of success relating to a point in time some five years after a discharge or after the end of the parole period. |
