Preferred term

Provo experiment  

Definition

  • The Provo Experiment was an activist research project developed by LaMar T. Empey and Maynard L. Erickson as a way of testing the effects of community control on delinquent recidivism. The project spanned six years (1959 to 1965) in Utah County, Utah, before being disbanded in the wake of political turmoil surrounding the experiment.
