Analysis of Washington A.R.T. Training
The Washington Aggression Replacement Training or ART is a program available to juveniles in or in proximity to most communities in Washington state. ART has been put into place to attempt to combat the serious, increasing problem of aggressive behavior in children across the state (DCYF, 2016). The goal of ART is to give guidance and assistance to youth to reduce anti-social behavior and give them prosocial life skills (DCYF, 2016). The use of ART initially was proven through research to have positive outcomes, however recent studies show that is no longer the case.
