Behavioral Analysis and Criminal Investigation

Behavioral analysis changed forensic science and how criminal investigations are approached by understanding the psychology behind some of the world’s notorious crimes.

Leadership Under the Gun: What the Alec Baldwin Situation Teaches Us About What It Really Means to Be a Leader
Alec Baldwin. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (without WiFi) for the past few weeks, you certainly know the story. On October 21st, the actor was filming a scene in New Mexico for a Western movie. “Rust," that he was not only starring in, but producing as well. He was practicing a scene inside a rustic church, holding a gun that had been checked for safety by the independent film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Somehow, the gun discharged a live bullet - a bullet that was not supposed to even be on the movie set.

Kavanaugh V. Klein
Ryan Kavanaugh, the co-founder of Triller, a video-sharing app, has recently filed a lawsuit against Ethan Klein and his YouTube show, H3H3 Productions, for "defamation". Kavanaugh claims that Klein is "harm[ing] and damag[ing]" him due to Ethan's multiple inclusions and mentions of a Variety article from June 2019 titled, "Ryan Kavanaugh Accused by Ex-Partner of Running a Ponzi Scheme", one of the many reasons that Ryan gives for his lawsuit. The article was later updated to show the retraction of the statement by Elon Spar, Kavanaugh's above-mentioned ex-partner, and Klein included that fact in later videos discussing the Variety article discussing Mr. Kavanaugh. Klein has presented evidence on his show that Kavanaugh had been allegedly threatening editors on his Wikipedia page with legal action if they didn't delete all of the information in the former "Controversies" section. The person who was alleged to be Kavanaugh had the username "rk777713".
