A Matter of Crime

About A Matter of Crime

From the Griffith Criminology Institute, this is A Matter of Crime podcast. A Matter of Crime takes you behind the headlines and gets you a seat beside Australia’s leading criminologists and legal scholars. Together, we’ll unravel why laws are made, why they’re broken, and how we navigate the aftermath. In this episode, in the wake of recent terrorist attacks around the world, we speak to postdoctoral research fellow at the Griffith Criminology Institute Dr Keiran Hardy about how to respond to this growing threat. And later in the show we will join Juliet and Dee for a glass of Crim and Tonic as they answer your questions, unravel your theories, dispel your myths, and quote showtunes.
