They maintain that the available findings do support further exploration and experimentation to determine the real implications of diet and nutrition as they relate to development of criminal behavior. Nonclinicians, the public, and food service administrators at correctional institutions all support the theory of a relationship between diet and criminal or delinquent behavior. Drs. Fishbein and Pease identify the need for further research before basic policies can be changed and thus qualify their own recommendations. It is particularly difficult to conduct research relating to food intake or dietary regimen in a correctional institution, but, possibly, in the controlled environment of a segregation unit, an experimental diet could be developed that would meet the ethical standards of the American Correctional Association. An area definitely in need of further exploration is that of the impact of nutritional education and intervention, particularly in juvenile facilities.
