Similarities
Both aim to reduce recidivism
Both can be used in a prison environment
Neither of them guarantee success – they both require self-motivation
They are both influenced by the learning approach which says that non-criminal behaviour can be taught
Differences
TEPs are based solely on operant conditioning, AMPs are based on cognitive elements, SLT and physiology so they are more holistic
TEPs are simple to implement
TEPs are cheaper to run because they don’t need specialist individuals to run them and they are cheap beyond set up
AMPs are only for people who are aggressive/angry
AMPs give the offenders skills which remain so they may be more generalisable
