BEHAVIORAL THEORIES 
     AND INTERVENTIONS
            Introduction
    Both the community and corrections call for 
    diversification in behavioral theories in and 
    for both settings. For instance, a person, 
    when exposed under different conditions, 
    may change their way of conduct and with 
    reference to the intensity of the exposure, 
    become better behavior-wise. All of these 
    levels of exposure vary with the 
    environment surrounding one.
        What Are Behavioral Theories?
            2 theories consist of Social Cognitive Theory & 
             Behavioral Management Theory.
            The Social Theory consists of 3 dynamic 
             models, where behavior, personal factors & 
             environmental influences interact continuasly. 
            Behavioral Management Theory is set to 
             believe that better human understanding 
             behavior i.e motivation, expectations, conflict 
             and group dynamics; improves productivity.

                         Albert Bandura
           Introduced the Social Learning Theory.
           Used observation as the main tool to 
            base the theory (Bryant, 2008).
           Criminal engagements were referenced in 
            which he blamed participation to 
            behavioral reinforcement.
           Both community and corrections were 
            used to show the efficiency of the theory 
            (Bryant, 2008).
              Social Learning Theory
           Involves a person engaging socially with 
            other individuals.

            attention provision forms the basis for the 
            theory (Bryant, 2008).
           Personal and environmental aspects play

            progress.
           Individual approach is based on the level 
            of success required and the kind of 
            exposure one has had.
