A multiphase program (Delinquency Intervention Program in |
|
the Carbondale Community High School), aimed at |
|
developing and defining means of identifying and |
|
reorienting delinquent-prone youths in a high school- |
|
community setting, has used university graduate students |
|
as "Big Brother" type counselors to work with delinquent |
|
prone youths and to effect appropriate behavior changes |
|
in them. Concurrent research relevant to the practice |
|
itself has provided promising implications for the |
|
construction of a curriculum of training for professional |
|
careers in correction, rehabilitation, and education, and |
|
has demonstrated that this kind of activity provides a |
|
valuable learning experience for students preparing for |
|
careers in these and related areas. The basic principles |
|
used are those of differential reinforcement to bring |
|
about behavior modification, with the aim of making |
|
delinquent-prone high school students more competent to |
|
deal with their environment by correcting behavioral |
|
deficits. Results obtained by this program suggest that |
|
stating students' problems in behavioral terms and |
|
defining events in terms of their function could result |
|
in benefits both to the educational system as a whole and |
|
to individual students by allowing those involved to |
|
become more attuned to the realities of the situation. |
