ABP-L, Email Discussion List

ABP-L is a confidential email discussion list, hosted by the ABP, exclusively for the ABP membership. The primary goal of this discussion list is to facilitate and promote information sharing, brainstorming, and communication between ABP members on all levels. This includes the discussion of current research, questions related to casework, and networking students with similar minded professionals.

The Moderator for ABP-L
Brent E. Turvey, MS <bturvey@profiling.org>

ABP-L is moderated by Brent, as far as directing discussion, suggesting topics, and enforcing ABP-L posting guidelines. He is also available to answer inquiries of a general nature, and act as an information resource. However, the discussions are generally left to ebb and flow of their own accord, as long as they follow the guidelines.

If you have a question about whether or not the topic or content of a potential post is within the guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact him.
