The systematic application of behavioral psychology to crime and
delinquency was begun only 20 years ago, yet it has already
contributed significantly to our practical knowledge about
prevention and correction and to our general under standing of a
pressing social problem. In this handbook, we review and evalu ate
what has been accomplished to date, as well as what is currently at
the leading edge of the field. We do so in order to present a
clear, comprehensive, and systematic view of the field and to
promote and encourage still more effective action and social policy
reform in the future. The chapters in this text have been written
by professionals who were among the original innovators in applying
behavioral psychology to crime and delinquency and who continue to
make critical contributions to the field's progress, and by a new
generation of energetic, young professionals who are taking the
field in important and innovative directions. The contributors have
attempted to review and evaluate their areas with critical
dispassion, to pro vide thorough but not overly specialized
discussion of their material, and to draw implications for how
research, application, and social policy might be improved in the
future. For our part as editors, we have tried to foster integra
tion across the chapters and to provide background and conceptual
material of our own."
