Bridging Emotional Gaps in Farewell Messages

The episode takes a bold approach by questioning the efficacy of stricter immigration policies in preventing crimes like the Lakin Riley murder case. With insights from Estrella, who reflects on her experiences as a daughter of immigrants, and Tanya, with her criminal justice background, we unravel the complexities of linking immigration and crime. Shireen, a South African runner, brings a global perspective, emphasizing that attributing crime to race or nationality is oversimplified and unproductive. Together, we delve into a nuanced conversation about justice, societal perceptions, and the importance of mental health and education in crime prevention.
