Abstract
Behavioral psychology has its roots in the philosophical and psychological traditions of the ancient Greek civilization, was nurtured by the Renaissance and scientific revolution, and emerged finally as a formal system of psychology in the early decades of this century. Since its emergence, behaviorism has grown in several directions, the modern product we refer to as “contemporary behaviorism” (see Day, 1980). In contrast to this long-standing tradition, the development of the behavioral approaches to crime and delinquency is of relatively recent origin, having begun both in theory and in practice in the mid-1960s (e.g., Burgess & Akers, 1966; Jeffery, 1965; Schwitzgebel, 1964; see Morris, 1978). Thus, their philosophical and psychological lineage aside, the behavioral approaches to crime and delinquency represent only about 20 years of systematic conceptual and empirical development—a brief span of time in the history of science. To put it another way, they have a long history but a short past (cf. Ebbinghaus, 1908, p. 1).
