Question:

A weakness of token economies?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Depneds on a consistent approach from prison staff -Basset and Blanchard found any benefits of token economies were lost if staff aplied the techniques inconsistently -This is due to the high rates of turn over, which can be seen in the UK, meaning that there are large amounts of new staff, causing inconsistencies and lack of standardisation in the rewarding of behaviour -Suggests that behaviour modification schemes must ensure full consistent staff participation if they are to work.
