Pourquoi participer
This session helps you develop meaningful metrics for law enforcement interventions, so you avoid the common mistake of confusing effort metrics (e.g. kilometres patrolled, arrests made) with impact metrics that show behavioural change and threat reduction.
Description de la séance
What works in wildlife crime prevention? Recent research shows there is little evidence on the topic despite continued investment in law enforcement operations to reduce illegal hunting and trafficking of wildlife. This session explores the lack of evidence, highlighting deficiencies related to the design of impact evaluations and metrics used to measure progress, including for global frameworks. It provides practical guidance on how to overcome these hurdles to help operational teams build rigorous evidence. During the interactive portion, participants are challenged to develop a set of meaningful metrics for an intervention, such as ranger patrols, and explain how they would monitor these metrics to determine success, failure, or mixed results. The audience will be asked to share experiences where meaningless metrics led them astray and provide examples of meaningful metrics they currently use in operations.
