Ask Bad People: Do the words we use about crime matter?
Why do the words we use about violent crime matter? How can they work against a victim? When do they let perpetrators off the hook?
Why do the words we use about violent crime matter? How can they work against a victim? When do they let perpetrators off the hook? Can the way we talk about a single case shape the way we think about crime overall? And, do you think you could identify guilt from the way someone sleeps? Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen tackle your questions in this bonus edition of Bad People.
Warning: This episode may contain sensitive topics and some strong language.
