Stealing behavior is difficult to detect and resistant to traditional means of intervention. Children who steal at a high rate and at an early age are likely to become persistent offenders. Behavioral interventions have successfully eliminated theft. Guidelines are offered to parents and teachers for dealing with “normal” and aberrant theft while maintaining respect for the child's right to privacy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
