The Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis for Crime and Delinquency

  • Chapter
Book cover Behavioral Approaches to Crime and Delinquency

Abstract

Understanding how applied behavior analysis pertains to crime and delinquency requires more than familiarity with the conceptual system of contemporary behaviorism or with the basic principles of behavior, or with specific behavioral procedures and programs. That understanding requires appreciation of a set of specific dimensions that reflect both a scientific concern with empirical analysis and humanistic considerations regarding improved personal and social conditions of daily life. More specifically, these dimensions represent a means for interweaving contemporary behaviorism, basic behavior principles, and applied behavioral procedures and programs with theory and practice in crime and delinquency. Finally, the dimensions present useful criteria for evaluating a wide range of correctional interventions, from traditional clinical therapy to large-scale program implementations, whether those interventions are behavioral in nature or not. In describing the dimensions of applied behavior analysis in this chapter, we hope to provide unifying themes for the behavioral applications presented throughout the rest of this book.
