Finding Solutions to Social Problems: Behavioral Strategies for Change

by Mark A. Mattaini (Editor), Bruce A. Thyer (Editor)

This work applies the powerful tool of behaviour analysis to some of the most pressing and intractable of contemporary social problems - like teen pregnancy, youth violence, racism and drug abuse. While there has been substantial research in the field of behavioural science, this is the first volume that brings together this conceptual and empirical material in ways that are useful for clinical practice, policy making and community interventions.
