- Anger management - A03
- Limited effectiveness
- 1. Anger management aims to change the cognitive causes of anger, rather than superficially changing behaviour.
- 2. Therefore, this technique should be more likely to lead to long-lasting behavioural change.
- 3. However, the evidence for this is very limited, perhaps because the role play situations cannot account for all possible anger-triggering scenarios in real life.
- 4. Therefore, the long-term effect of anger management is in question.
- Eclectic approach
- 1. Anger management involves cognitive, behavioural and social techniques, recognising the complexity of anger as an emotional response.
- 2. The multidisciplinary approach acknowledges tat offending is a complex social and psychological activity, and any attempt to address it, should include these different elements.
- Anger may not cause offending
- 1. Evidence suggests that not all criminals, or crimes, are motivated by anger.
- 2. Loza and Loza-Fanous (1999) found no difference in levels of anger amongst violent and non-violent offenders.
- 3. Therefore, anger management is a limited technique to deal with offending behaviour.
- Limited effectiveness
