Just as America faces some of its most critical political divides, our criminal justice system suffers from a lack of public trust. How are these dual crises interwoven?  In this episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay talks with legal scholar David Sklansky, a Stanford professor who co-directs the school's Criminal Justice Center. In his new book “Criminal Justice in Divided America,” Sklansky says reforming the nation's justice system may be at the core of recovering our democracy.  In fact, he says there are clear approaches and solutions to help reform what's broken and that even the basic concept of the jury trial can re-educate us in the skills and habits required to work across differences in a pluralistic democracy.  In the end, Sklansky says the criminal justice system is one of the few places where Americans of varying beliefs and persuasions engage with each other to make important decisions. 

By Adam Turteltaub There's a car pulling up to your facility loaded up with a patient and a trunk full of risk. Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) plays an important role in getting elderly and poor patients to their medical appointments and pharmacies.  But, explains Colin May, Professor of Forensic Studies and Criminal Justice at Stevenson University, the amount of fraud is exploding.  There are cases of billing when service was not provided, trips to facilities that are closed, overbilling, upcoding, overcharging for tolls, and more. Enforcement authorities have been doing more to crackdown on this fraud, but providers need to be on the lookout for a host of schemes, including kickbacks. Frontline employees, he argues, should be trained to look out for questionable, unusual situations that may be the sign that something improper is happening.  Technology can also be deployed in areas such as pre-trip screening. Listen in to learn more about this growing problem and what your organization could and should be doing about it.

In this episode, FSA sits down with Peter Moskos, professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and author of Back from the Brink.  Following his keynote at the Sheriffs Summer Conference, Moskos shares his perspective on the evolving relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve. He highlights what needs to happen to build lasting trust and understanding. The conversation also touches on his research findings and how they can inform today's policing challenges. Finally, Moskos discusses how law enforcement leaders can continue to strengthen their agencies and better serve their communities.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITViolence seems to be everywhere these days - even in the most unexpected places. Today we dive into a truly bizarre case where a decomposed, dismembered body was discovered in a Tesla registered to popular singer D4VD (pronounced "David") after the vehicle had been abandoned and towed to a Los Angeles impound lot. The grisly discovery came days after the car was sitting in the summer heat, leading to a foul odor that finally prompted investigation.But that's just the beginning of our disturbing crime roundup. We're tracking the massive manhunt for Jamal McGriff, a 42-year-old career criminal with a horrifying 30-year record who brutally murdered an elderly couple in Queens. The victims - parents of an FDNY paramedic - were found bound, stabbed multiple times, and set on fire in their own home after being terrorized for nearly five hours. The most infuriating part? This dangerous offender was walking free despite decades of violent behavior, raising serious questions about our criminal justice system's priorities.We also examine President Trump's recent dinner outing in Washington DC, where he attempted to demonstrate improved safety in the capital following his administration's crime crackdown. But does a presidential dinner with Secret Service protection really prove anything about everyday citizens' safety? I don't think so. The reality is that many of us have dramatically changed our behavior - I don't even answer my door anymore - because we can't rely on the system to keep dangerous people off our streets. So what's really behind this crime wave? Is it failed "reimagined" justice policies that prioritize keeping offenders out of prison? Mental health system failures? Or something more sinister? Join the conversation and share your thoughts on what's driving this disturbing trend.

In this powerful episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew asks the difficult question: Is Minneapolis a city filled with hate?He begins with the horrific shooting at Annunciation Church, offering condolences to the victims and their families, and then examines the deeper issues plaguing the city: rising crime, a lack of deterrence, prosecutors who refuse to enforce the law, and political leaders unwilling to face the consequences of their policies.Andrew challenges the media's selective coverage of violence, comparing national attention on certain tragedies with the silence surrounding the ongoing deaths of children in Chicago and other cities. He draws a line between local failures in Minneapolis and broader national trends—from cashless bail to prosecutors funded by far-left donors.Finally, he connects these themes to Israel's fight for survival after October 7th, exposing the dangerous double standards applied both domestically and internationally when it comes to law, justice, and morality.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

In the fourth installment of "No Way, Jose!"'s riveting series on the Dutroux Affair, host Jose Galison and guest Austin Picard, host of "The Underclass Podcast," continue their deep dive into Marc Dutroux's criminal evolution, focusing on his activities in the late 1980s. This episode zeroes in on the escalating severity of Dutroux's crimes, particularly his convictions for multiple abductions and assaults, which revealed a disturbing pattern of predatory behavior. Jose and Austin explore the details of these cases, the judicial responses, and the early warning signs that were overlooked, painting a clearer picture of how Dutroux's unchecked actions laid the groundwork for the horrors that would later unfold.Building on the series' examination of Dutroux's early life and 1980s crimes, "NWJ 615" scrutinizes the systemic failures and societal blind spots that allowed a known offender to continue his descent into infamy. With Austin Picard's sharp analysis and Jose Galison's incisive questioning, this episode sets the stage for the darker and more complex layers of the Dutroux Affair to be unpacked in future episodes.

Clement Manyathela speaks to presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya after President Cyril Ramaphosa publicly rebuked National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola for returning 121 political killings dockets to KwaZulu-Natal. The move has sparked outrage, with critics warning it could undermine the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, which is tasked with investigating corruption and political interference within the South African Police Service. As concerns mount over delayed justice in politically sensitive cases, questions arise about public trust: can South Africans still believe in the integrity of law enforcement? And what signal does this send to whistle-blowers and families still waiting for justice? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

When President Donald Trump's crime crackdown began earlier this month in Washington, D.C., local officials and critics pushed back, arguing that federalizing the city and bringing in the National Guard was unnecessary because crime was decreasing in the nation's capital. They said the crime statistics disputed the President's complaint that the city was "out of control." President Trump has since publicly questioned those crime statistics, and his Department of Justice has opened an investigation into whether the city's police department manipulated the crime numbers to make the city appear safer than it is. Before the DOJ investigation was announced, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke with Rafael Mangual, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and member of the Council on Criminal Justice, about crime statistics, how they are gathered, why they're flawed, and how they can be manipulated. Mangual also weighed in on President Trump's actions and whether they will be effective in the long term. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

This week on Crime Roundup, Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer dive into an explosive scandal out of rural Kentucky, where the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins has exposed a hidden world of courthouse corruption, sex-for-favors, and alleged misconduct at nearly every level of the local justice system. With reports of mirrored ceilings, sex parties, and jailhouse encounters involving law enforcement and officials, the hosts examine how deep the cover-up may run and what accountability looks like. They then turn to Bryan Kohberger, who has filed harassment complaints from inside a maximum-security prison. Sheryl and Joshua break down what those complaints reveal about prison power dynamics, the threat of extortion, and the likelihood of long-term solitary confinement.

European leaders visited the White House on Monday, where President Trump had an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Coming just days after Trump's Alaskan summit with Vladimir Putin, many questions still remain: what will it take to negotiate an end to the war? And what do “security guarantees” look like for Ukraine, for Europe, and even for Russia? Former NSC advisor to President George W. Bush and Beacon Global Strategies managing director Michael Allen about the territory demands from Russia, European leaders pushing for Ukraine's security guarantees, and the historic peace talks being shepherded by the Trump administration. One week into President Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., and Democrats continue to push back, arguing that crime data suggests the President's actions in the nation's capital are unnecessary and that violence is not "out of control." Mayor Muriel Bowser has called the administration's actions "unsettling and unprecedented." Rafael Mangual, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and member of the Council on Criminal Justice, joins to discuss President Trump's actions, what is next for the city, and why he says crime statistics don't always reflect reality.

What began as a typical game day celebration for University of Idaho students would end in unimaginable horror on Saturday, November 12, 2022. Xana Kernodle, a marketing junior, spent the day with friends, including her boyfriend Ethan Chapin and housemates Dylan, Bethany, Kaylee and Maddie at their shared home on 1122 King Road. After parties and celebrations, the group returned home in the early hours of Sunday morning. At around 4am, Dylan heard disturbing sounds. When she cracked her door open, Dylan saw a masked man with bushy eyebrows holding what looked like a vacuum cleaner. The next day, when upstairs roommates wouldn't answer their phones, friends discovered the bodies of Xana, Ethan, Kaylee and Maddie - all brutally stabbed to death. Vicky Ward, co-author of The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy, joins Claire to explore this devastating case. You can find her book here.

Sometimes the story is in the fabric, not the flesh—and in the right hands, clothing can speak volumes about a death investigation. In this episode, Dr. Priya Banerjee joins Sheryl McCollum to explore how clothing can hold vital clues in a death investigation. From the first look at a scene to the autopsy table, they reveal how stains, textures, odors, and damage can tell a story the body alone might not. Dr. Priya shares real-world cases — from waterlogged jeans covered in barnacles to garments hiding trace evidence — and explains why context, culture, and condition matter.

Pre-Order his newest book Six Dimes and a Nickel here!   About Damon, Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker, 3x Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former crime boss in Dallas, who was sentenced to Life in prison for Organized Crime.  USA Today calls him the “modern day Shawshank Redemption and the most in-demand speaker in America.” At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury and turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life.  After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress and trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS).  One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.  After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man.  On parole in Texas until 2073, his story is one of hope, redemption, grit and the resilience of the Human spirit.   Here's a few additional resources for you… Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Order my new book 'The 7 Commitments of a Great Team' today!
