In this episode of The Doc Analyzes Anything, Dr. Steve Sparks, Kyle Steury, and Chad Ever dive into a topic that's often misunderstood: the difference between Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). Spoiler alert: they are not the same thing.
We explore:
- What ABA actually is and how it’s rooted in science and data Why the FBI's criminal profiling methods don’t necessarily hold up to empirical scrutiny
- How shows like Mindhunter blur the line between entertainment and reality
- Ways behavior analysts could actually support change in correctional settings
This one’s for true crime fans, behavior nerds, and anyone curious about how behavior science really works.
