Abstract: This article discusses the role of politics in the Juvenile Justice Educational Enhancement Program’s effort to use evaluation research data to inform Florida’s juvenile justice education policies and practices. Through consideration of the Juvenile Justice Education Enhancement Program’s experiences with privatization and the tough love and economy of scale rationales for larger and more custodial juvenile institutions, the variable role of politics is examined. Although the two examples are different, the discussion demonstrates that by maintaining an overriding commitment to its evaluation research purpose, the Juvenile Justice Educational Enhancement Program has been able to continue its data-driven policy efforts despite operating in a politically charged environment.
