Good Conduct Time
Good conduct time, good time credit, good time, or time off for good behavior is a sentence reduction given to prisoners who maintain good behavior while imprisoned. In Florida, it is known as gain time. Good conduct time can be forfeited if a prisoner is determined to have committed disciplinary infractions and/or crimes while incarcerated. In the United States, the earliest versions of "good time" or "gain time" were in place by 1850 as an alternative "to corporal punishment to motivate offenders who were not willing to work as expected". The concept was in use by 38 states by 1890 and 46 states by 1910. Good conduct time is intended to incentivize prisoners to comply with prison rules and refrain from committing additional crimes behind bars—especially acts of violence towards other inmates and correctional officers—thereby ensuring that a prison can be run in a cost-effective manner with a higher ratio of inmates to correctional officers. Prisoners known to be uncontr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Good Behavior Game
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a classroom management strategy used to increase self-regulation, group regulation and stimulate prosocial behavior among students while reducing problematic behavior. Major research at Johns Hopkinhas studied three cohorts of thousands of student, some of whom have been followed from first grade into their 20s. In multiple scientific studies, the Good Behavior Game dramatically reduces problematic behavior within days and weeks. The first study of GBG was published in 1969, using a 4th grade classroom. The study was the first application of applied behavior analysis to a whole classroom. In the original study, the classroom was divided into two teams. The students were to engage in the math or reading activities as teams. Paying attention, engaging in the lessons or activity, was the "good behavior". If students engaged in actions that interfered with the lesson (e.g., getting out their seat, interrupting), that was a penalty point against the team ...

John Dortmunder
John Archibald Dortmunder is a fictional character created by Donald E. Westlake. He is the protagonist of 14 novels and 11 short stories published between 1970 and 2009. He first appeared in the novel ''The Hot Rock'', published in 1970. Westlake originally intended ''The Hot Rock'' to feature his Parker (Stark novels character), Parker character and to publish it under his Richard Stark pseudonym. However, the plot involves a precious gem that is stolen, lost, reacquired, stolen again, lost again (and so forth), which seemed too comical a situation for a hard-boiled creation like Parker. Westlake therefore rewrote the novel with a more bumbling and likable cast of characters, led by a pessimistic, hard-luck, professional thief. A neon sign for DAB beer, an acronym for "Dortmunder Actien Brauerei", provided the name for the book's new protagonist. A career criminal and a "planner," creating schemes for burglary, burglaries and assigning responsibilities to his team, Dortmunder i ...

Pathological (mathematics)
In mathematics, when a mathematical phenomenon runs counter to some intuition, then the phenomenon is sometimes called pathological. On the other hand, if a phenomenon does not run counter to intuition, it is sometimes called well-behaved or nice. These terms are sometimes useful in mathematical research and teaching, but there is no strict mathematical definition of pathological or well-behaved. In analysis A classic example of a pathology is the Weierstrass function, a function that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. The sum of a differentiable function and the Weierstrass function is again continuous but nowhere differentiable; so there are at least as many such functions as differentiable functions. In fact, using the Baire category theorem, one can show that continuous functions are generically nowhere differentiable. Such examples were deemed pathological when they were first discovered. To quote Henri Poincaré: Since Poincaré, nowhere differe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
