TY - JOUR PY - 1969// TI - How Measurable Is Success? Behavioral Science in the Computer Age JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Bartoo, C. H. SP - 519 EP - 524 VL - 15 IS - 4 N2 - The general public wants "success" or "failure" defined in black or white terms. The physical sciences offer universally clear-cut definitions, formulas, and criteria by which their "suc cess" can be appraised; on the other hand, the behavioral sci ences are equivocal and the public, bewildered, questions the truth of the claimed "successes." Correction, in particular, must embark on research that will formalize and measure the authen ticity of its "successes.".
