Evaluation of Illinois' Cash Transaction Report Unit and Drug Conspiracy Task Force
Principal Investigator: Ernest L. Cowles, Ph.D.

The Center for Legal Studies (now the Institute for Legal and Policy Studies) at the University of Illinois at Springfield was awarded a grant to complete an impact evaluation of the Drug Conspiracy Task Force and Cash Transaction Reporting Unit by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority in June 1996. Data for the study was collected through a variety of sources such as program proposals, funding agreements, monthly activity data reports, site-visits and telephone interviews.
