Reducing at-risk behaviors

Remember, pxmishment does more to inhibit involvement in safety improvement efforts than it does to reduce at-risk behavior. So consider your observation of an at-risk behavior a mere sample of many similar at-risk behaviors and use the occasion to stimulate interpersonal dialogue about ways to reduce its occurrence. 

In Section 4,1 presented techniques that actively caring intervention agents could use to increase safe behaviors and reduce at-risk behaviors. I propose we practice systematic and purposeful acts of kindness to keep other people safe and healthy We clearly need more of this in our society. Before examining ways to increase actively caring behaviors, though, it is necessary to define the concept more precisely and objectively.
