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.
