Criminal Behaviorology My Presentation on Competency to Stand Trial Restoration Using Behavior Analysis The entire webinar presentation can be found here (which includes Dr. David Feeney’s presentation on remote ABA services): https://youtu.be/8Sm4NrIqGc0 The video of this presentation only can be found here: https://youtu.be/4Ip4YJQjugw 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.

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.

The FBI Files on B.F. SkinnerThe video of this entire interview can be viewed here:https://youtu.be/754JkfZn3qcThe views of our guests do not necessarily reflect those of Criminal Behaviorology, nor our sponsors, if we had any. Dr. Joe Wyatt, forensic psychologist and behavior analyst, pursued the FBI files on B.F. Skinner through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Among the findings were a strange interest in Skinner as a researcher, family man, and even his acquaintances and former teachers. Why Skinner was of interest to the United States government is unknown. What is known is that psychologists, and other academics, may become the target of a government investigation for political reasons.Show Highlights:- When Joe Wyatt first heard about the FBI files on B.F. Skinner. Politics and science.- JFK orders an investigation of B.F. Skinner. Or did he?- Skinner’s contribution to the war effort using pigeons to guide missiles.- Investigations of Skinner past 1961.- The “Domino Theory” of Communism.- J. Edgar Hoover, iconic head of the FBI, for decades, may have had his own reasons for investigating potential communists as opposed to organized crime.- Questions to ask today about the investigations of B.F. Skinner.- The impact on Skinner himself.- Why the reputation of powerful institutions can be their most powerful asset. Dr. Wyatt’s Article on the FBI’s Investigation of B.F.

The video of this entire interview can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/xA3ZDZ8COBM Joseph Wyatt, Ph.D., is a retired forensic psychologist, and previous guest on Criminal Behaviorology. In 2002 he took an interest in the infamous McMartin Preschool trial, which took place in California. If you have not heard of this case, take some time to look up the story. It is simply the most shocking case of false accusation I have encountered. Joe takes a critical, and behavior analytic, viewpoint regarding the expert opinion of an archeologist who claimed to have discovered evidence of sinister tunnels built under the preschool buildings. These tunnels would seem to confirm the allegations of secret sexual abuse and ritualistic torture. But is there an alternative conclusion - one with a behavior analytic explanation? (Podcast listeners - skip to 10:12 unless you enjoy Joe and I conversing on audio quality) Show Highlights: - A respected preschool center is accused of crimes so shocking it made news the world over. - The use of anatomically detailed dolls to facilitate interviews with children. The misapplication of these methods, and the belief that children could not make up such explicit stories, led to the unjust prosecution in the McMartin case. - How children could be influenced by the interviewing techniques used in the case. - The parents of children involved in the case, in a very emotional state, asked for an archeological analysis to provide evidence of secret tunnels allegedly put in place to commit unspeakable crimes beneath the building. Ground penetrating radar, and a detailed report followed that supported the existence of underground tunnels. - Skinner’s concept of “Operant Seeing.” Is this an explanation for why an expert archeologist’s flawed conclusions when the totality of the evidence clearly indicates an innocent explanation? Confirmatory bias - the pursuing of conclusions before the facts. - The legacy of the McMartin trial. How could so many be so wrong about such a serious criminal case? The real victims of McMartin case.

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.  Murder & Mayhem in Indiana (2014):  https://www.hamiltonbook.com/murder-mayhem-in-indiana-paperbound  Keven Mcqueen’s Website / Written Works:  http://www.kevenmcqueenstories.com/published_works  Look up CrimBehav on Facebook: facebook.com/CrimBehav.  Criminal Behaviorology on Blogger.   CB Podcast Sites: h ttps://criminalbehaviorology.podomatic.com  https://anchor.fm/criminalbehaviorology  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/criminal-behaviorology/id1441879795?mt=2&uo=4    https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy83MzY4OWFjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz https://open.spotify.com/show/5VM7Sjv762u7nb91YWGczZ    https://www.breaker.audio/criminal-behaviorology    https://overcast.fm/itunes1441879795/criminal-behaviorology  https://pca.st/Q38w    https://radiopublic.com/criminal-behaviorology-GEv2AZ   https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/criminal-behaviorology  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKSVoZOBwCG28xMnuPq_Gtw  On Locals Social Media:  https://criminalbehaviorology.locals.com/?showPosts=1  https://criminalbehaviorology.locals.com  Please write a review on any of our podcast sites listed above.  Questions, comments, and requests for transcripts to:  criminalbehaviorology@gmail.com Thank you for listening.
