ABA and Policing

For this brew, Dan and Mike take time to incorporate some recent events with policing and the challenges faced by said institutions in providing training and support. Given current discussions and criticism of ABA methods and treatment, your hosts draw comparisons and parallels between the ideas of ABA intervention and policing as it relates to behavior management to  preserve an acceptable 'peace' in the process, but perhaps more importantly, the goal of protecting and serving. Using the model of parenting styles to create a connection between the levels of authoritarianism appropriate to either endeavor, Dan and Mike elaborate on ideas to promote a less authoritarian and more authoritative tone overall. The discussion is rich in philosophical and scientific premises all the same, resulting in a stout, frothy and very satisfying libation. Enjoy! And always analyze responsibly.
