This extraordinary panel focused on behavior analytic supervision, featuring a discussion between Michael, Valeria, Lynn, and Joe about the challenges and best practices in supervising behavior analysts. This is a follow up to our discussion with Joe and Michael from the last episode. Highlights: The participants explored the importance of competency-based models, ethical considerations, and the need for ongoing supervision beyond initial skill acquisition. The high rate of behavior analysts leaving the field due to lack of proper support and supervision, emphasizing the need for structured training programs. The evolution of supervision practices, including the use of remote supervision and simulation models, while acknowledging the limitations of distance supervision. While supervision training is now being formally recognized by the BACB, more needs to be done to ensure effective supervision practices across the field. Keep an eye upon for an upcoming book on behavior analytic supervision by Joseph Cautilli, Lynn Connor, and Michael Weinberg.

With a little help from behavioral profiling, police captured the perpetrator and stopped him from committing future grotesque murders. What is most frightening is that such an obviously mentally unbalanced individual was unmonitored and untreated in the general public. Highlights: - Richard Trenton Chase, the horrific serial killer case in 1970s California. - Robert Ressler’s book Whoever Fights Monsters, a segment on the Vampire of Sacramento case is read. The desperate search to find who was responsible. - The so-called “organized” versus “disorganized” offender types. The disorganized concept might be the result of a perpetrator’s psychosis. How an understanding of mental illness helped in making a very accurate profile in this case. - Profiling: How the type of income, relationships (or lack thereof), condition of his car, and even the perpetrator’s physical appearance were predicted with surprising precision. - Ressler’s interest in such a case having occurred so recently, and the unique opportunity to go “on site” with a behavioral profile. - The true credit profiling deserves in assisting a criminal investigation. - An appeal written by Richard Trenton Chase: A paranoid and rambling document born of a psychotic mental state. - Adding stimuli, in strategic ways, with the intent of catching a perpetrator.

Donate to Criminal Behaviorology Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81930699 Note: This is a bit of a “throwback” to a podcast on our old platform from 2018. It is about false accusations of sexual assault. The sound quality is a little rough, but I consider the message to be quite important. Enjoy the rerun episode. An article in slate.com by Cathy Young (2014) reviews the importance of false rape accusations and the controversies that ensue. A segment from Roy Hazelwood and Ann Burgess from "Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation" (1987) provide insight on how to approach such cases. The sensitive nature of this topic requires an objective and careful examination of all the factors involved.
