Managing challenging behaviour using applied behavioural analysis and positive behavioural support in forensic settings: A systematic review

Applied behavioural analysis (ABA) and positive behavioural support (PBS) are frequently reported in the literature as successful interventions to reduce challenging behaviour. However, there has been no comprehensive review of the effectiveness of ABA and PBS within forensic settings. The purpose of this review was to systematically examine and synthesise existing research to investigate the effectiveness of ABA and PBS in forensic settings, and to identify any potential barriers and facilitators associated with implementing PBS.
