Behavioral analysts assess the behavioral and mental health of clients and determine a treatment plan to decrease bad behavior and increase positive choices. As a behavioral analyst, you may work in law enforcement, research, or clinical setting, depending on the types of qualifications you have, and your responsibilities differ depending on the specific field. In social work, you typically meet your clients to determine how their behavior affects their daily lives and work with them to set goals for changing their behavior and to succeed in different aspects of their lives. Law enforcement behavioral analysts study and provide analysis on crime in an attempt to understand motivations and identify serial criminals and their behaviors.
