| Forensic issues in behavior analysis are of growing importance. In the criminal justice system a growing need is taking place for highly qualified behavior analytic consultants. Recent meta-analytic studies have shown that behavioral interventions can reduce prison misconduct leading to shorter prison stays and reduction of recividism. If your interest is in delinquency or adult offenders- this is the SIG for you. We tend to have well attended meetings 20-60 people, so show up early and get a good seat. All are welcome to come and discuss their work and what is in store for the SIG over the next year. The health of our journal- the Journal of Behavior Analysis in Offender and Victim: Treatment and Prevention will also be discussed as will its movement from www.behavior-analyst-online.org to http://baojournal.com/. |
