The application of Behavior Analysis to human problems has the potential to serve our culture, or at least make comprehensible the processes and variables that have maintained the current directions of cultural practices that harm everyone’s lives. This application to social issues, besides discussed by authors of the area, has given rise to a field called behavioral community psychology. Through the analysis of articles published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) between 1999 and 2018, this research aims to continue the Otero’s (1999) work, characterizing the scope of action of behavioral community psychology, and evaluating what has been produced in recent years. Compared to Otero’s (1999) research, there was a decrease in the production of the area, and works found were mainly related to the subject of traffic and safe driving. It is also presented a proposal of an evaluation instrument mutually guided by Baer et al.’s (1968) dimensions and Fawcett’s (1991b) values. It was found that the area responds positively to Baer et al.’s (1968) dimensions, but it does not correspond to Fawcett’s (1991b) values. In addition, although social, the demands were not specifically requested by populations that were investigated, and the studies did not promote wide social change
