Summary
While many of us might think that the variables maintaining police brutality have nothing to do with us, Dr. Cody Morris may disagree. In fact, in his recent article, he and his co-author, Dr. Nicole Hollins, posit that many of those variables may be responsible for direct-care staff engaging in client mistreatment. Join us as we talk red flags and responses to protect our most at-risk clients.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Track, the podcast, that's like reading in your car, but safer. |
| 0:19.8 | I'm your host, Robert Perry Cruz, |
| 0:21.5 | and with me as always are my fabulous co-hosts. Hello, Rob, it's Santa. And it's me, Jackie. |
| 0:27.9 | Oh, boy, everybody. So I know we've been in a tough year. There's been a lot of tough |
| 0:32.9 | conversations, and I thought we should have another one. What do you say? There's always room. There's always room for |
| 0:40.6 | more tough conversations. Good. All right. Well, I'm glad we're having a tough conversation because, |
| 0:45.4 | you know, usually when we talk about behavior analysis and behavior analytic research on this |
| 0:50.5 | podcast, we cover a lot of topics, some of them more challenging than others. But I think we all |
| 0:56.7 | agree that behavior analysis is the best and really should be doing everything it can as a field |
