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, we examine one of society's great conundrums - how best to counter the violent extremism that has become a part of modern life. What programs are needed, what intelligence gathering powers are necessary to prevent attacks from happening, and when do those powers go too far, to become an invasion of our civil rights? Nance Haxton interviews Dr Keiran Hardy from the Griffith Criminology Institute - one of Australia's leading researchers on how we reduce the risk of terrorism. And later in the show we 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.

A Matter of Crime - Should Australia have a sex offenders registry - with Dr Danielle Harris

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.
In this episode, we speak to Griffith University School of Criminology and Criminal Justice senior lecturer Dr Danielle Harris, about whether public registers should be implemented for child sex offenders. She unpacks whether a sex offenders registry would have prevented some of the horrendous sexual crimes that we hear about on the news, and how we all can take part in preventing these crimes. Dr Harris is one of the foremost Australian researchers in this field, recently releasing a book based on her research interviewing more than 100 men in three countries who were in jail for serious sexual violence.
