The entire webinar presentation can be found here (which includes Dr. David Feeney’s presentation on remote ABA services):
The video of this presentation only can be found here:
The views of our guests do not necessarily reflect those of Criminal Behaviorology, nor our sponsors, if we had any.
Your gracious host took part in a webinar on August 25th, 2022. This was titled Novel Uses of ABA: Part IV. My modest contribution was on the subject of competency to stand trial (CST). This was a well attended event, with much audience participation.
Show Highlights:
- What is CST and how can behavior analysis assist in the process.
- Discrete trial training in learning court terms and concepts.
- The use of matching cards, as well as “tacting,” and “intraverbals.”
- Should behavior analysts touch the criminal justice system with a twenty-one and a half foot pole? The importance of ethics in competency restoration.
- Practical issues raised in the Q&A about malingering, client populations, and how one can become involved in this area of behavior analysis.

The Criminologist Meets the Criminal Behaviorology Podcast!!
All the (Road) Rage: The Causes of Driver Aggression
Criminal Behaviorology All the (Road) Rage: The Causes of Driver Aggression
The video of this entire interview can be viewed here:
https://youtu.be/I4YW5JoDt3A
The views of our guests do not necessarily reflect those of Criminal Behaviorology, nor our sponsors, if we had any.
Dr. Jerrod Brown, Ph.D., is a professor, trainer, consultant, and researcher, and the founder and CEO of the American Institute for the Advancement of Forensic Studies (AIAFS). He has had two previous appearances on Criminal Behaviorology (listed below). He once again came to educate us the subject of road rage (Driver Aggression). If you are traveling for the holidays, or any reason, this might be an important episode. Stay safe out there.
Show Highlights:
- Dr. Brown looks at the behaviors involved in road rage from a psychological perspective.
- Minor driving aggression (what we all do) can progress into full rage. Road rage as on the most extreme side of the spectrum.
- Anxious driving behavior, driver related stress, and other types of problematic driving behaviors.
- The variables involved: dehydration and nutrition; what happens before one gets in a car; warm temperatures; neurology and impulse control (executive function); maturity level; population (more cars on the road); alexithymia; emotional intelligence; sleep deprivation.
- Road Rage: What it is, and what it is not. The coining of the term sometime in the 1980s.
-What is the intent, if there was one? Driven by rage. -What are the behaviors observed? Intimidation? Gestures of aggression, threats?
- Triggering events: Slow driving; reckless driving behavior of others; discourtesy and disrespect by other drivers; time urgency; family troubles; driver distractions.
- The personal nature of the automobile. How the car gives us so much autonomy, attention, respect and other benefits. The car as a second home or office - If you are in an automobile accident… How to act. What to do.

A reading of a 2017 Washington Post article, and 2009 Quarterly Journal of Economics article, on horror movies. The idea of horror movies reducing violent crime appears counterintuitive. However, the concept of a replacement behavior becomes critical in understanding of this study. The whole idea brings about more questions than it answers. Do not be afraid to explore this new idea. Wait! On second thought, be afraid. It is Halloween!
Show Highlights:
- Do horror movies produce more crime, or are they “harmless”
- An analysis of crime when Happy Death Day (2017) was in theaters
- The draw of popular horror movies reduces the occurrences of violence
- The reduction in alcohol consumption as a factor
- Reduction of crime in South Africa using a computer program
- The power of good replacement behavior at the right time, and in the right context.
- Appearance (maybe) in the 2001 movie Hannibal

The McMartin Sexual Abuse Trial: Operant Seeing and the Dangers of Expert Opinion
Mysopedia: The Sadistic Child Murderer
Indiana’s Mayhem & Murder: Historical True Crime in the Hoosier State
Author Keven McQueen has written books for decades now, and has taken an interest in what he calls “historical true crime.” In this interview we discuss his book on crimes in the Hoosier state before 1940. In addition, some of Keven’s musings on history, society, and the particular sources he has found most helpful in finding these unique stories.
Show Highlights:
- Keven’s journey in becoming a non-fiction author.
- His moral and ethical concerns writing about criminal cases. The reason for his cutoff of 1940 as the last year he will draw stories from.
- Thoughts on the popularity of true crime. An explanation of “historical” true crime.
- Hazel Triumphant! A young mother is accused of the murder of her infant twins. She was the sole caretaker of the two children, until it was discovered they were not real.
- Hypothetical Questions in Abundance. An outspoken, pro-German, minister shares his views in the World War I period. Did this result in his murder? Or was there something more to the story, like espionage?
- The Boy Bandit. A young man goes on a crime spree. Was he influenced by “dime-store novels,” or was he just bad? Many twists and turns in this story.
- Three Ways to Escape Punishment. What appears to be a simple murder-for-hire scheme certainly has an elaborate defense strategy. First the wife didn’t have anything to do with it. Then it was she had to do it because her husband was insane. No, she had to do it because of her own insanity!
- Grave robbery as a common crime in Indiana. Behavioral economics and the reduced frequency of some crimes over time.
- The best ways to research crime stories. Why local papers, and ancestry.com, can be great resources. The conversations Keven has had with descendants of some of individuals in his books.
- Future books Keven is working on.

Genes and Behavior - 4.25.18
An examination of one chapter from Jay Moore's book "From a Behavioral Point of View: A Psychological Primer" where he discusses the idea that genes do not "cause" behavior in the common use of the term. Implications for behaviorists, and especially criminal behaviorologists, are significant.

Kids, Cars and Danger: Hot Car Deaths and Human Memory
Kids, Cars and Danger
Janette Fennell had a rather dramatic beginning in her advocacy of car safety. Kidnapped at gunpoint with her husband, they were placed in the trunk of their own car and transported to an unknown location. After they managed to escape with their bare hands, she sought out data on cases of trunk entrapment and what could be done in terms of prevention. In time, she helped mandate interior trunk releases for all cars in the United States. Because of the efforts of this one-woman data collection machine, she began to work on the phenomenon of children dying in hot cars after lapses in memory by their parents. This episode focuses on the tragic and the hopeful. Dr. David Diamond, memory expert and neuroscientist, joins us to discuss his role in answering the question: “How could a parent mistakenly leave their own child in a vehicle?” As hundreds of children have died in hot car deaths, and notable criminal prosecutions have resulted, we delve into the intricacies of the human memory and technology that could save the lives of many.

** Important update on the Justin Ross Harris Case:
www.yahoo.com/news/murder-conviction-overturned-georgia-hot-142320038.html
Show Highlights:
- Janette’s kidnapping from her own garage and escape from being contained in the trunk of her car. The realization that the National Highway Safety Administration did not collect data on deaths and injuries related to vehicles not on the roads, despite numerous such incidents in many different ways.
- The reality of children being left in hot cars. The change in environment (within the car) that came from laws having children ride in the back to prevent deaths from airbag deployment.
- Notable cases such as the films Stop All Clocks and especially the Justin Ross Harris case in Fatal Distraction.
- How prosecutors are handling cases like this. The significance of public perception and particularly how the media has responded.
- Dr. Diamond discusses the significance of brain anatomy and his own experiences in the potential for a loss of awareness due to environmental and neurological factors.
- The Hot Cars Act and the potential for an improvement in vehicle safety using technology to save the lives of children.
- The significance of data collection in regards to why some issues are perceived as important and others are sadly neglected.

Victims or survivors? Victimology as Viewed by a Behavior Analyst
A Critical Look at In Cold Blood: The True Crime Novel as a Work of Literature
Criminal Behaviorology
A Critical Look at In Cold Blood: The True Crime Novel as a Work of Literature
After meeting writer Nicolas Tredell in 2018, I found him to have a keen understanding of true crime, writing, and history. He has edited a new book focusing on the Truman Capote novel, In Cold Blood. We discuss the infamous Clutter family murder as written about in Capote’s world-famous work, as well as in multiple film and television adaptations, as well as the influence of such a style of writing.
Show Highlights:
- The Clutter family murder in Holcomb, Kansas in 1959. The shocking nature of such a crime in its time as compared to today.
- The psychology of the perpetrators, Smith and Hickock. The “folie à deux” (“madness for two”) element in this murder. The social-psychological factors involved.
- The very pertinent issues in this case, impacting us to this day, including insanity as a defense, the death penalty, and so forth.
- What is appealing regarding this case and Truman Capote’s book, In Cold Blood.
- The cross-cutting technique in Capote’s writing and other prescient features that are hallmarks of modern true crime and fiction stories.
- What is special about the true crime novel as literature and why true crime remains so popular.
- The accuracy of these kinds of based-on-a-true-story type novels and movies. Can such a genre ever be completely accurate, or is some embellishment necessary to truly convey the ideas?
- Capote’s possible insight into how our changing world was relevant to the Kansas murders. Crimes motivated for self-esteem.
- How our modern life, highway travel, technology, and other factors all contribute to crimes manifested in new ways.

Trick or Treat! Behavior Theory and Crime, Dog Training and Beggars’ Night Becomes Halloween
Three readings as a treat for this Halloween season. One segment from a criminology textbook and two articles on behavior analysis as it relates to this ghoulish time of the year.
Show Highlights:
- Behavior theory as seen by a criminologist. What is unique about behaviorism as compared to other fields in psychology. Why it is important for understanding the causes of crime. Criticisms of behavior theory.
- Operant conditioning and dog training. How our pets react can tell us something about the influence of the environment we have created for them. The importance doing good things without an incentive. The idea of altruism.
- How behavior analysis helped create the tradition of Halloween. Ugly realities of October in the 1930s. Police reports on vandalism and other mayhem in Des Moines, Iowa. How one woman started a campaign to establish an alternate behavior for children (perform a trick, stunt, sing a song, etc.) on “Beggars’ Night,” the legacy of these efforts today.

Two Speakers on Behavior Analysis (Novel Uses of ABA)
Criminal Behaviorology
Two Speakers on Behavior Analysis (Novel Uses of ABA)
In a recent webinar on the Novel Uses of Applied Behavior Analysis, we have presentations from two very accomplished speakers. Kent Corso, PsyD, BCBA-D, has worked in the areas of suicidality, health and military applications, and has been a guest on a previous episode. Vanessa Bethea-Miller, MA, BCBA, provides details regarding the juvenile justice population and how behavior analysis can make a difference. Kent begins at 04:55 and ends about 39:04. Vanessa begins at 40:31 and winds up the podcast.
Corso Highlights:
- How the research on behavior analysis has focused on such a small percentage of the population.
- “Demand Signals” regarding where behavior analytic research could be useful. Options for the future dissemination of behavior analysis.
- The importance of publishing in non-ABA journals and communicating respectfully and efficiently with those outside the field.
Bethea-Miller Highlights:
- Defining juvenile justice in behavioral terms.
- Statistics and pertinent facts regarding this population.
- Research on methods of treatment.
- Token reinforcement and contingency management programs.
- Switching from a reactive to a preventive model.

Night of the Shaping Dead: Zombie Behavior, Shaping, and Resurgence
Criminal Behaviorology
Night of the Shaping Dead: Zombie Behavior, Shaping, and Resurgence
Being as it is the Halloween season, we can have some fun, right? Dr. Kennon Lattal wrote two blogs for the Aubrey Daniels Institute about zombies from a behavior analytic perspective. Why not? Dr. Lattal is on sabbatical currently, but was gracious enough to respond to my email questions. Let’s suspend the “dead man rule” in behavior analysis (where we say that if a dead man can do it we do not accept it as an intervention, i.e., “stay in one place,” “don’t make any noise,” etc.) and instead apply an undead rule as we seek to understand how to deal with zombies through behavior analysis.
Show Highlights:
- Why is shaping as a concept so important, and is it misunderstood – or just NOT understood at all?
- What makes social relevance important and how do we determine what might be socially relevant in one instance or another?
- How does one go about deciding where to start in terms of shaping behavior and how fast one should proceed from one step to the next? Do you find people are frustrated in the success of shaping because, with zombies or people, the progress can be quite slow?
- What is resurgence, and how can it serve as an explanation for societal problems such as addiction or criminal recidivism?
- How can resurgence result in behavior generally seen as positive (unlike what we usually see out of zombies)?

Pirates! Behavior Analysis and Maritime Crime from the Great Lakes to Modern Day Somalia
Criminal Behaviorology
Pirates! Behavior Analysis and Maritime Crime from the Great Lakes to Modern Day Somalia
Timothy reads from two books on pirates in the great lakes as well as a Todd A. Ward article on piracy in the coastal waters of Somalia. Behavior analysts, rogues that we are, might have role in resolving piracy in the modern age.
Show Highlights:
- James Strang (“The King if Beaver Island”) and his pursuit of “Prophet,” as in his followers overtaking of the largest island in Lake Michigan. How Strang is viewed as a pirate by many, and why his rule over “St. James Island” led to his own violent end.
- “Dangerous” Dan Seavey. Lawman, brawler, poacher and the last of the Great Lakes pirates.
- Why piracy is an interesting subject matter in regards to criminology and behavior analysis. Once ubiquitous in the waterways, it is now localized to key parts of the world. What can this sea change in delinquency tell us about how crime originates?
- Todd A. Ward on Kantor’s Interbehaviorism in regards to piracy in Somalia.
- How a sociological problem could be ameliorated by psychological interventions. Communication networks in crisis situations are relevant to the threats ship crews face. What factors within the country itself are most relevant?
- Explicit, implicit and heuristic rules in regards to maritime crime and other problems.

Preventing Suicide in the Military and Among Veterans
Criminal Behaviorology
Preventing Suicide in the Military and Among Veterans
Kent Corso is a psychologist, behavior analyst and Air Force veteran. In his many writings and presentations he has provided valuable information on what is known, and what is not, about suicide among veterans and active-duty military. In this podcast we cover the problem of suicide in the military and how behavior analysis may have a role to play.
Show Highlights:
- Why the term “commit” in regards to suicide is loaded language with a very negative connotation. Saying “took his own life” or similar phrase is more sensitive to those close to the event.
- The fact that suicide, as a phenomenon, has never been known to reduce in the number of deaths per year, as long as it has been studied.
- The extensive amount of literature on suicide, and why much of it provides very limited actionable information regarding prevention.
- How suicide, like other severe behavior problems, can be understood as something shaped over time and our focus should be on all significant factors that precede it.

Right Off the BAT: The Operant Conditioning Theory Regarding Domestic Violence
Criminal Behaviorology
Title: Right Off the BAT: The Operant Conditioning Theory Regarding Domestic Violence
Dr. Marilyn Bonem is a professor at Eastern Michigan University. In 2008, she co-wrote a study on domestic violence using the Battering Assessment Tool (BAT). In this interview we discuss with Dr. Bonem the results of her study of batterers and how we should think of domestic violence in behavioral terms as opposed to placing the offenders in vague psychological categories.
Show Highlights:
- The intervention programs for domestic violence often used, including the Duluth and CBT models.
- Viewing domestic violence from a behavioral point of view. What are the advantages to treating domestic violence as an operant behavior?
- Dr. Bonem’s work on the Battering Assessment Tool (BAT).
- The lack of a specific “personality” type for batterers, and how an improved understanding of antecedents and consequences may serve as an explanation for the phenomenon of domestic violence.
- What are the reactions of domestic violence victims to the results of BAT research? How these findings can help victims.
- Concerns about how this information is received. Is there a risk of excusing batterers or blaming the victim?

51 School Attacks Averted!
Criminal Behaviorology
Title: 51 School Attacks Averted!
Frank Straub has been in law enforcement for decades. He has been an advisor to West Point, Indianapolis Chief of Police, a White Plains, NY, Public Safety Director, an Executive Deputy Inspector General for the Office of the New York State Inspector General, among other things. He is now the Director of Strategic Studies & Center for Mass Violence Response Studies. He has a PhD in Criminal Justice and is now interested in becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). He recently wrote “A Comparison of Averted and Completed School Attacks from the Police Foundation Averted School Violence Database,” with psychologist Peter Langman. In this interview Frank discusses the comparison of 51 school attacks averted to those completed.
Show Highlights:
- Frank Straub’s extensive career in law enforcement and his path to an interest in behavior analysis.
- The research that has been done on thwarting school attacks. The distinctions found between the 51 school attacks prevented, and those that were tragically completed.
- How reporting on these stories matters and why the focus on victims can be beneficial.
- How the monitoring of social media has made a difference.
- Operational definition of a school attack and why they are similar to incidents of workplace violence.
- Of course, not all school attacks can be prevented. Nonetheless, we look for opportunities to intervene, which can be so important.

Michigan’s True Crime – Tobin T. Buhk discusses his career as a true crime writer as we focus on his book True Crime: Michigan – The State’s Most Notorious Criminal Cases
Show Highlights:
- How Tobin Buhk became involved with true crime writing and his many books on the topic.
- Why we tend to look for a single explanation for why crime occurs, and how a multi-factorial approach is often rejected in favor of more peculiar theories.
- Strang Circumstances covers the assassination of the “King of Beaver Island” in 1856. The leader of a Mormon sect comes to an untimely end at the hands of his enemies.
- Andrew Kehoe, the “Dynamite Farmer,” becomes the perpetrator of the worst school massacre in history, in the year 1927.
- The diabolical mind of Arthur Waite, a chronic liar and “Heiress Hunter” who hatches a plot to poison an entire family and inherit their fortune.
- Why the true crime genre remains such a popular subject for writers, and how the “gapers block” is one explanation of our ongoing fascination with the macabre.

Interview with the Forensic Psychologist – Dr. W. Joseph Wyatt discusses his long career as it is detailed in his book - The Breaking Point Killing: And Other True Cases of Murder and Malice.
In this interview we cover Dr. Wyatt’s work as an expert witness and how his interest in behavior analysis developed into a unique perspective on crime, forensic psychology and modern mental health care.
Show Highlights:
- The title case describes how bullying ultimately culminated into a lethal event. How a behavior analytic view differs from the way traditional psychology might conceptualize such a case.
- A private life made public, mental deterioration and a tragic act result in the aftermath of an overseas scam, in “He Murdered His Gay Partner.”
- Some of the limitations in our standard methods for treating mental illness, and especially psychiatry’s intriguing recent history. Ways that a behavior analytic viewpoint could be of benefit in the future for those in need of care.
- The real-life work of a forensic psychologist as an expert witness and how Dr. Wyatt has navigated through our adversarial legal system by offering critical testimony in numerous cases.
