Acerca de esta escucha

 "

Some crimes are so horrific they attract the harshest punishment possible: a sentence that means the guilty will die behind bars.

From 'The Crossbow Cannibal' to Moors murderer Myra Hindley, journalist Julian Druker explores the cases of eight criminals with whole life orders and asks what this means for the criminals and society.

Told through archive news coverage of these crimes, this series explores the judicial and sentencing processes, as well as the legal, ethical and political dimensions of whole life orders.

We chart the evolution of these whole life sentences from the 1980s to the present day, and explore how politicians' desire to appear 'Tough on crime' has resulted in an increase of the UK prison population.

    Ep. 3: Stephen Port - Defending the Guilty
    Apr 6 2020

    Stephen Port became known as ‘the Grindr Killer’ because he found his victims through gay social networking apps. The case against him was overwhelming – and his legal costs were footed by the taxpayer – Julian asks why we defend the guilty and who should pay for it.

If you are a psychologist, you will probably really enjoy this podcast, since that is what it is mostly about, psychologists and prison workers giving their opinions on whether a full life sentence is a good idea or not.

Each episode gave a short 1-2 minute story of a person's crime(s) that got them locked up for life. The remaining 23 minutes or so was all used up with people's opinions about how it should have been handled with a different topic each time (ex: showing remorse, psychological problems, etc.)

I was hoping to hear the full story, of each person's crimes, not evaluate whether they showed remorse or not. Now, I do think the psychologists should have had their input in the podcast, just I wish that wasn't the focal point.

The performance was good, but the stories were extremely lame to me, although I did learn something new and enjoyed it a little bit. I just wanted more excitement and more of the criminals stories and the entire detailed story of their crimes, not evaluate whether they should be locked up for life or not.

not my cup of tea

If you enjoy biographies about crime dramas, you might enjoy this series. I found it a bit tedious to listen to. There are definitely better crime stories available.

Dry but informative
