Child Criminal Exploitation through a Behavioural Lens becomes clinically important the moment a team has to turn good intentions into reliable action inside case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In Child Criminal Exploitation through a Behavioural Lens, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →The aim of this course is to provide BCBAs with an understanding of what Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) is, placing emphasis on using behaviour analytic concepts to define elements of CCE (for example grooming and county lines). We will consider the EO's and vulnerabilities that put young people at higher risk of being criminally exploited, considering how we can support with these antecedent factors as Behaviour Analysts and what our science has to offer. Criminal exploitation is child abuse where children and young people are manipulated and coerced into committing crimes (NSPCC, 2024). These factors increase the risk of a young person being criminally exploited; poverty and areas of deprivation, trauma, abuse and neglect, challenging behaviour, school absence and exclusions, special educational needs, care experience, substance misuse and mental health issues (Gov.uk, 2023) I have worked with young people at risk in schools, in the community and in residential placements with their staff teams. We will consider relevant statistics showing us how prevalent CCE is (UK & US), alongside considering what current interventions are in place. Further to this, we will then consider how behaviour analytic interventions may be appropriate to support young people at risk of CCE, and how our science can be applied to this specific societal concern.
