The dual trend in present-day society towards increased criminality amongst young people, and towards an apparent emphasis on reformative rather than punitive treatment in the penal system, has had at least two major consequences. First, it has led to greater differentiation in the types of training available; secondly, it has underlined the need for adequate classification and allocation procedures. Varied and complex methods of allocation have recently been devised, including the use of prediction or experience tables as described in Mannheim and Wilkins (1955) ; and a number of writers (Trasler, 1962; Eysenck, 1962; Wilkins, 1965) argue that differentiation and allocation procedures should be based on detailed psychological or social-psychological theory and on a coherent body of knowledge gained from research
