Abstract
This paper reviews some of the behavior therapy techniques used to correct antisocial behavior. Descriptions of aversive conditioning and positive reinforcement techniques are given. It is probably only a matter of time before these techniques are extended to prisons or other institutional settings. Behav ior techniques must be carefully regulated, lest they be used as punishment. Advantages and objections can be classified as questions of ethics, longevity of effect, and economy of use. With careful and thoughtful control, behavior therapies hold promise for the future of correction.
