Abstract

Webster Hall, a community-based residential program for adjudicated adolescent females, is described. A behavioral approach was employed in successfully demonstrating the systematic mobilization of various components of a community in order to facilitate specific academic and social behavior change. Through a contingent feedback network including Webster Hall, the community public schools, the youths' guardians, and the community as a whole, it was possible to achieve desirable behavior necessary for effective community functioning. A descriptive functional analysis of elements of the community relative to individual behavior change is discussed.
