Talk:V-coding

What do you think of Citations:V-coding? I've had trouble trying to find out what the V means, posasibly "validating" (??! an AI machine told me), or how widespread the term is. Clearly not something that gets regularly documented. But I thought you might care. Equinox ◑ 09:33, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Interesting, I've heard of the practice but hadn't heard it given a name before. As you found, the word isn't common online / in books / outside prison (gets all of 54 google hits); I don't doubt that it's more common inside prisons, although I would guess different prisons might have different terms, or might not give it a name. The only v-word I see commonly mentioned in discussions of v-coding is "violence" (it's viewed as placating the male prisoners and reducing their violence towards the guards), so it could perhaps be that; another possibility is that it's some peculiar use/derivation of psychology's "V codes" (which [//www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/gender-identity-disorder this] defines as codes for "conditions not attributable to a mental disorder that have nevertheless become a focus of therapeutic intervention"). - -sche (discuss) 22:02, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
