A. ANDREWS COLIN FARMER R. J. RUSSELL B. A. GRANT ST. PATRICK'S COLLEGE CARLETON UNIVERSITY OTTAWA and J. J. KIESSLING PROBATION AND PAROLE SERVICES ONTARIO MINISTRY OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES OTTAWA A fuller statement of the personal, interpersonal and community reinforcement model of criminal behaviour is available elsewhere. Andrews, 1976a The model provides a general social learning perspective based on differential association theory and its behavioural reformulations. Sutherland and Cressey, 1966; Burgess and Akers. 1966; Adams, 1974 The perspective inte- grates a number of views of criminal behaviour within a single theoretical system. Further, the system may be operationalized readily for purposes of both descriptive and experimental investigations. It is assumed that the reinforcing and punishing consequences which control criminal acts are evident at several levels. The levels correspond, roughly, to the special interests of the disciplines of biology and psychology, social psychology and sociology: the personal, interpersonal and community. At the personal level, there are consequences such as excitement and stimulation Quay, 1965 money and property Merton, 1957 conditioned hope and fear Eysenck, 196, and the self-delivery of positive and negative evaluations. Matza. 1964, Glazer, 1956 With the personal factors we need not assume an interpersonal or social situation at the time the act is emitted or inhibited. However, the self-control mechanisms and the controlling function of money or property may well rest on values, beliefs, attitudes or responses acquired in previous social situations. Interpersonal factors such as peers have long been recognized as important in crime and delinquency. Klein, 1971 In fact, Cressey 1955 and 118
