Differential-punishment Procedure-Punishing one set of
responses and not punishing another set of responses.Differential
punishment occurs when different punishments are repeatedly imposed
on different groups for the same crime. For example,theft done by
males and females would have different punishments. And sometimes
exhibiting a desirable response for example,of doing the work which
has been given would not be punished but not doing it or doing it
incorrectly would lead to punishment.
It differs from plain punishment since in punishment all
responses are punishment and there is no differentiation between
responses or groups of people. Any response which is undesirable
will deserve punishment leading to unpleasant outcome. For
example,a murder convict whether male or female would get equal
punishment.
