Ment Retard. 1994 Jun;32(3):213-7.
Dissatisfied with more traditional approaches to behavior management, psychology staff in a community-based residential treatment program for offenders with mental retardation developed and instituted a peer Jury System to deal with inappropriate resident behaviors. Behaviors were divided into eight major areas and analyzed for 5 months subsequent to the institution of the Jury System, with statistically significant improvement noted in 7 of the 8 areas and for 11 of the 12 subjects. Implications must be viewed as provisional due to the AB design, but results suggest that the system warrants serious consideration for expanded use with offenders with mental retardation.
一个为智障罪犯提供社区住宿治疗项目的心理工作人员，对更传统的行为管理方法感到不满，于是开发并实施了一个同伴陪审团系统来处理居民的不当行为。行为被分为八个主要领域，并在陪审团系统实施后的5个月内进行分析，8个领域中的7个以及12名受试者中的11名有统计学上的显著改善。由于采用AB设计，这些结论必须被视为临时的，但结果表明该系统值得认真考虑在智障罪犯中扩大使用。
