ten violence prevention programs that met a very high scientific
standard of program effectiveness. Blueprints were designed to be
very practical descriptions of effective programs which would allow
states, communities, and individual agencies to: (1) determine the
appropriateness of this intervention for their state or community;
(2) provide a realistic cost estimate for this intervention; (3)
provide an assessment of the organizational capacity needed to ensure
its successful start-up and operation over time; and (4) give some
indication of the potential barriers and obstacles that might be
encountered when attempting to implement this type of intervention."
