Abstract: 

Much qualitative researches focused on validity. Establishing validity requires a sound knowledge on performing triangulation. However, there is no specific techniques or formula that has been detailed for researchers to embark on triangulation effort. Initiatives to broaden the understanding of techniques to conduct triangulation is vital to support the development of qualitative studies as well as provide guidelines to novice researchers. Data triangulation is one of the methods that examine the consistency of different databases from within the same technique. Consistency means persistent adherence to the same principles, course or form. The aim of this article is to introduce another similar method of finding consistencies based on different types of persons. This study examine views from a group of community leaders upon result of strategies female offenders in the prison planned to use in achieving their goals. The rule of Chain of Events by using the "Ifs" and "then" is applied. The result of the case study showed that there is a link which is consistent between the result of the community leaders' and the female offenders' perception on the strategies
