...lost or stolen, $100 worth of charges-the current personal liability limit under Massachusetts statutes-could be run up within a very short space of time. The answer of course, is that the same might be said of the old Coop card Except that it is immensely easier to amass fraudulent charges in several stores than in one, particularly since credit card thieves, according to police evidence, know that they must do their charging as soon as possible after receiving the card...

The findings of an experiment by Bandura in 1965 reveal that although punishment administered to a model tends to inhibit children's performance of the modeled behavior, it has virtually no influence on the occurrence of imitative learning.
