Pirates! Behavior Analysis and Maritime Crime from the Great Lakes to Modern Day Somalia
Timothy reads from two books on pirates in the great lakes as well as a Todd A. Ward article on piracy in the coastal waters of Somalia. Behavior analysts, rogues that we are, might have role in resolving piracy in the modern age.
Show Highlights:
- James Strang (“The King if Beaver Island”) and his pursuit of “Prophet,” as in his followers overtaking of the largest island in Lake Michigan. How Strang is viewed as a pirate by many, and why his rule over “St. James Island” led to his own violent end.
- “Dangerous” Dan Seavey. Lawman, brawler, poacher and the last of the Great Lakes pirates.
- Why piracy is an interesting subject matter in regards to criminology and behavior analysis. Once ubiquitous in the waterways, it is now localized to key parts of the world. What can this sea change in delinquency tell us about how crime originates?
- Todd A. Ward on Kantor’s Interbehaviorism in regards to piracy in Somalia.
- How a sociological problem could be ameliorated by psychological interventions. Communication networks in crisis situations are relevant to the threats ship crews face. What factors within the country itself are most relevant?
- Explicit, implicit and heuristic rules in regards to maritime crime and other problems.
