The Psychology of Criminal and Antisocial Behaviour
At The Psychology of Criminal and Antisocial Behaviour Podcast we do things a little differently. While other crime podcasts examine cases, we examine the “mechanics” behind criminal and antisocial behaviour. While cases will certainly be discussed, these will not be the central focus of our show. Rather than talking about what someone did, we will tell you why. Our audience is therefore anyone who is interested in a deep-dive into why criminals and victims do what they do. So join our hosts, Criminologist Dr. Wayne Petherick and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Grant Sinnamon for our weekly episodes.
