Our Story

The idea for this website and subspeciality originated in 2020. When Hannah and Jessica, both with academic and professional backgrounds in Criminal Justice, Psychology, and Behavior Analysis, met, it was not long before they both recognized the potential to apply the principles and methods of Behavior Analysis to the Criminal Justice field.

In Spring 2023, Hannah and Jessica took the initiative to share their expertise and educate others in the Behavior Analysis community. Their goal is to demonstrate how Criminal Justice can benefit from the practices and science of Behavior Analysis.
