Several operational and methodological revisions to the project's design and procedures were required due to barriers that resulted from unforeseen shifts in the host juvenile justice system's policies and personnel. The current report describes real-world challenges that face investigators working in public-sector systems, and highlights the key role of establishing long-term collaborative professional relationships with personnel at all levels in those systems based on providing services and evaluation data that meet the system's core goals, responsibilities, and mission. Also highlighted are the methodological and logistical adaptations needed to successfully accomplish a project's internal objectives while striking a balance between flexibility in operational and methodological tactics on one hand, and adherence to ethical, conceptual/clinical, and methodological principles on the other hand.
