Listen, read and watch Twisted Minds now at twistedminds.com.au
They are the men and women tasked with getting inside the minds of Australia’s most hardened criminals. Whether it’s the forensic psychologists and psychiatrists who meet the crooks once they’ve caught, or, the criminal profilers tasked with trying to predict what’s driving an offender on the loose – this is high-stakes work.
If they stuff up, it’s our safety that’s placed at risk.
We’ll hear what it’s like to sit across from a serial killer or a violent sex offender and ask them what makes them tick, and why they do the things they do.
It’s their evidence that helps courts understand often unthinkable actions and gives parole boards insight into if - or when - they may strike again.
