In December last year, the Australian Institute of Criminology and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission released updated figures for the cost of serious and organised crime in Australia. The Institute estimates that it cost up to $68.7 billion a year in 2022-2023. "The $68.7 billion cost of serious and organised crime represents more than $2500 for every person in Australia."While it may be said, ' do the crime, do the time,' the reality is that when it comes to doing the wrong thing, everyone pays.But what difference would it make to you if someone paid the debt on your behalf?A message by David Toscano

In this episode, host Mark Ledlow discusses the significant role of the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) with guest Martin Gill, a professor of criminology and the founder of the awards. Sponsored by Lead Security Group, the conversation delves into the origins and purpose of the OSPAs, emphasizing their credibility and ethical standards. Martin explains how the awards aim to eliminate bias and recognize true excellence in the security industry globally. The discussion also touches on the complexities of security in today's unpredictable world, the role of AI and blockchain, and the impact of global events on the security landscape. The episode concludes with insights into the upcoming OSPAs award ceremony at GSX in New Orleans, and the importance of building a culture of excellence within the security profession.Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast.KEY TAKEAWAYSCredible, independent, and ethical award schemes are vital for recognizing excellence in security.Outstanding security is essential for public and organizational safety, not just asset protection.The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) are global, impartial, and set a high standard for the industry.Good security deters offenders and is a fundamental business function.Recognition motivates excellence and boosts morale across teams and organizations.The security landscape is evolving with new challenges like AI, crypto, and global instability.QUOTES“Security is an essential business function that's designed to help the organization achieve its objectives by enabling it to operate even in the most difficult environments.”“Credible industry award schemes are extremely valuable, but the trouble with the security sector is that the word credible isn't typically associated with award schemes.”“The object of good security is ultimately to make those offenders think, ‘No, it's not worth it.'”“Recognizing those who are truly good at security is not trivial. It is a fundamental point about an aspiring profession.”“Chaos is business for us. Unfortunately.”“It becomes an arms race between offenders and the security world as to who gets ahead.”“Our judges are our biggest advert.

An organized serial killer is a type of serial killer who exhibits a high degree of planning, control, and premeditation when committing their crimes. Unlike disorganized serial killers, who tend to act impulsively and leave chaotic crime scenes, organized serial killers are methodical and strategic in their approach, making it challenging for law enforcement to apprehend them.Key characteristics of an organized serial killer include:Methodical planning: Organized serial killers carefully select their victims, often based on specific criteria such as appearance, occupation, or vulnerability. They may stalk potential victims to learn their routines and habits before carrying out the murders.Controlled crime scenes: These killers go to great lengths to minimize evidence left behind at the crime scenes. They may bring tools, restraints, or other items to help facilitate the killings and dispose of evidence thoroughly.High intelligence and social skills: Organized serial killers often have above-average intelligence and can be charming and manipulative. This enables them to gain the trust of their victims, making it easier for them to lure them into dangerous situations.Lack of remorse: Organized serial killers typically show little to no remorse for their actions and may even take pleasure in the suffering of their victims.Cooling-off periods: After each murder, organized serial killers usually experience a "cooling-off" period where they maintain a relatively normal appearance and behavior. This period allows them to avoid suspicion and plan their next attack without drawing attention to themselves.Often follow media coverage: Organized serial killers may closely follow news reports and police investigations related to their crimes, sometimes even involving themselves in the investigation to elude capture.Long-lasting crime sprees: Due to their calculated and organized nature, these killers may continue their crime sprees for extended periods before being caught or stopped.In this epsiode, we hear from several experts who explain what makes a serial killer and some of the basci psyche that goes into how a profile is built when investigating serial murders. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:What causes someone to become a serial killer?

The couple had one child together, a fourteen-month-old daughter named Vanessa, who lived with Christine. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Christine Holloway and Vanessa Morales. On December 2nd, 2019, Christine didn't show up to her job and co-workers and her family asked for a welfare check.

Charlie Kirk is dead—taken out by an extremely skilled sniper in deep-red Utah. The MAGA Nazi built an empire scapegoating Black people, trans folks, and women, and cheered on Trump's authoritarian destruction. Get ready for the martyrdom of this incel king and the coming retribution against democracy defenders. Let's look at what really happened. Back in July, Kirk had demanded transparency from the Trump White House over Trump's longtime friend: the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein who ran the real life QAnon–we play Kirk's own words at the end of this episode. Instead, Trump turned the FBI and DOJ into personal security forces, relying on them and Mike Johnson in Congress to continue his Epstein cover-up. Now Kirk's dead. And the shooter? Nowhere to be found. The killer obviously blended in with the predominantly white and male crowd. Was he a professional sniper? Was this a Russian op, or another case of terrorism by an active duty soldier? Kirk's death looks less like a random act and more like a message: Shut up about Epstein. And it's working. Trump is already using Kirk's murder to stir up his base, threatening political opponents, and fueling his full-blown authoritarian crusade. But don't be fooled—this isn't about “leftist violence.” The data is clear: political violence in America overwhelmingly comes from the far right. Refuse to be silenced. Demand the full Epstein files. Demand justice for the victims. Because the real danger to MAGA isn't those who enjoy what's left of their Constitutionally protected rights—it's the MAGA base waking up to the truth: Trump is at the center of the Epstein cover-up, because he, like Epstein, is a pedophile. Release the Epstein files.   Show Notes:   First-of-its-kind Look at Left, Right, and Islamist Extremists Explores Similarities, Differences. According to the University of Maryland's Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice: Far-right extremist violence is significantly worse than far-left violence – there's no comparison. The data shows that American society should take right-wing violence far more seriously, like it takes Islamist extremism. Anyone both-sidesing political violence in America is gaslighting you. https://ccjs.umd.edu/feature/umd-led-study-shows-disparities-violence-among-extremist-groups   Top Democrat Calls for Congressional Probe Into Ties Between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel: Thiel was one of many whose financial ties to the dead financier should be probed, a prominent senator believes. https://gizmodo.com/democrats-call-for-congressional-probe-into-ties-between-jeffrey-epstein-and-peter-thiel-2000657058   Charlie Kirk talks Epstein, urges Trump administration to act https://www.axios.com/2025/07/15/trump-epstein-maga-charlie-kirk   Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Carol Leonnig https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/543941/zero-fail-by-carol-leonnig/   See Epstein's full ‘birthday book,' with alleged personal messages from Trump, Clinton and others https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/see-epsteins-full-birthday-book-with-alleged-personal-messages-from-trump-clinton-and-others   House Oversight receives Epstein estate files, including 'birthday book' : Democrats have posted a photo of the provocative message the president allegedly wrote. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/08/house-oversight-receives-epstein-estate-files-00550721   MSNBC: Witness Describes Charlie Kirk Shooting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGxsn3FNJsU   Nazi Martyr Horst Wessel: Beware the mobilizing martyrdom by American fascists https://www.bettedangerous.com/p/nazi-martyr-horst-wessel?fbclid=IwY2xjawMvxm5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHjDVF7jdpNZA03IKR09k7rR2GPT50u9UjV2glvSRXDMzCsGlk1_7BXB7FH_C_aem_U-EXiDdVgWMAOfMMny3OYA   U.S. Military Service is the Strongest Predictor of Carrying Out Extremist Violence https://theintercept.com/2025/01/02/military-veterans-extremism-attack-new-orleans-vegas/  

For decades thousands of pregnant women across the UK were prescribed the drug Diethlystilbestrol or DES, a synthetic hormone that was meant to help prevent miscarriage. But the drug left a legacy of life-altering health problems for some of their children, including infertility and rare cancers. Anita Rani speaks to ITV Social Affairs Correspondent Sarah Corker who has investigated what they are calling a medical scandal that continues to devastate lives, talking to the women who say more must be done to help those exposed to the drug as new concerns emerge over the impact of DES on a third generation.   Author Heather Morris wrote The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which went on to become one of the bestselling books of the 21st century. Her new novel, The Wish, follows Jesse, a 15-year-old with terminal leukaemia who wants to have a digital 3D recreation of her life for her family and friends. To accomplish this, she connects with Alex, a lonely CGI designer. The book explores their unlikely friendship and its impact on both of their lives. Heather joins Anita to talk about mortality, family, healing through connection and what it means to be remembered.Last week we heard from three women who have had a loved one take their own life. They spoke honestly and movingly about what happened to them in the immediate and long term aftermath of such a loss. Today we are taking a look at the historical context of suicide. Anita speaks to BBC New Generation thinker Dr Stephanie Brown, who is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Hull and doing research in this area. In 2023 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor went viral on TikTok after Emerald Fennell used it in a key scene in the film, Saltburn.

Claire de Mézerville López is joined by co-host, Professor Emanuela Biffi, for the “Powerful Intersection Between Restorative Justice and Art” podcast series, a special initiative by the IIRP together with the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ). Art has the unique ability to connect and facilitate dialogue, making it a powerful tool in restorative justice practices. Throughout the series, we examine how artists from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds use their creative expression to foster communication, build empathy, and potentially repair harm. Each episode highlights a different aspect of this intersection, featuring conversations with artists who have contributed to restorative justice  We are joined by Dr. Clair Aldington as she discusses her research on integrating visual and movement-based languages into the restorative justice process. She co-founded Space to Face, an award-winning charity in Scotland, emphasizing how creative expression can facilitate healing dialogues and trauma articulation. Discover how Dr. Aldington's work extends beyond verbal communication, using art as a catalyst for emotional connections and solidarity between individuals involved in conflict. She reflects on pivotal moments where art objects symbolized reconciliation and inspired lasting change in both victims and offenders. Her research challenges traditional Western practices by advocating for more inclusive, visually oriented approaches to restorative justice. Dr. Aldington has authored several academic articles and book chapters regarding her practice and research. She is the co-founder of the award-winning Space2face restorative practices and arts charity in Shetland, Scotland, and a co-facilitator of an international restorative circle group, the Encounter of the Encounters, in cases of political violence. Her work has pioneered the use of art and design approaches within restorative practices. Specifically, how creative approaches can aid dialogue and the articulation of trauma, particularly in cases of serious crime, thereby improving the accessibility of restorative processes. Dr. Aldington holds a doctorate in Design and Restorative Justice and a master's in Contemporary Art and Music. She is a freelance researcher and practitioner with over twenty years of experience in the field of restorative practices.

On Easter weekend 1955, Ruth Ellis reached her breaking point.After years of jealousy, violence, and betrayal, she spent a long, sleepless night replaying the wreckage of her life — and blaming one man: David Blakely. By Easter Sunday, her rage would boil over into an act that would shock Britain and seal her fate as the last woman hanged in the UK.In this episode, we follow Ruth's final hours before the shooting — a day marked by obsessive phone calls, tense stakeouts, and a simmering fury that would explode in front of witnesses. This is the moment where obsession turned deadly.

A new study from Portland State University completes a three-year project looking at the impacts of several drug policy shifts - including Measure 110 - which decriminalized drug possession in Oregon. Among other things, this final study concluded that decriminalization had little to do with rising crime and overdose deaths. Instead, the study found that the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread emergence of fentanyl were the primary drivers behind a surge in drug-related deaths. Brian Renauer, a professor in the Criminology & Criminal Justice Department at PSU, joins us to explain.

Today I talk with Rahim Kurwa about a powerful study of housing rights and police repression in Southern California. Tapping into a vast historical archive as well as oral histories with residents of Antelope Valley, California, Rahim traces the complex relationship between this region and the City of Los Angeles.  Using David Harvey's famous notion of a “spatial fix,” Kurwa argues that for decades Antelope Valley acted both as a safety value for LA's over-accumulation of capital, and Black labor. Anti-black racism took the form of powerful collaborations between local police departments, politicians, the courts, the media, and citizens groups that acted as vigilantes. Yet Rahim Kurwa also speaks about organized resistance to these attacks that resulted in significant victories, and of the history of Sun Village, that started on land from a socialist community, and grew into an all-Black town. Given today's brutal ICE assaults on migrants and others in Los Angeles and the policing of public and private space, this episode is of special importance.Rahim Kurwa is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law, and Justice and Faculty Affiliate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). His work is broadly focused on the policing of housing, and he has published work on this topic in Du Bois Review, Housing Policy Debate, City and Community, and Feminist Formations. His book, Indefensible Spaces: Policing and the Struggle for Housing, traces the past century of Black history in Los Angeles' northernmost outpost, known as the Antelope Valley, showing how pre-1968 methods of racial segregation have been replaced today by policing. At UIC, he is currently studying the eviction crisis in the Chicago Housing Authority while teaching courses on race, class, gender, and the law. He received his PhD from UCLA in 2018.

Did Kohberger Study Criminology To Better Understand The Monster He Knew He Was? Description: Was Bryan Kohberger studying criminal justice to fight crime—or to understand himself as a future killer? Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to explore this chilling angle in the Idaho murders case. Kohberger wasn't just a PhD student in criminology—he was deeply immersed in the psychology of serial killers, studying under leading experts, and even conducting Reddit surveys asking former criminals how they felt during their crimes. So… was he preparing for a career in law enforcement, or rehearsing for murder? We dissect Kohberger's academic path, his psychological transformation, and whether his education served as a blueprint for violence. Did his deep knowledge of crime scene behavior, forensic protocols, and law enforcement tactics give him false confidence he could commit the "perfect crime"? This conversation goes deep into the disturbing intersection of intellect, obsession, and pathology—and whether academia unwittingly gave Kohberger the tools to kill. If you've ever wondered whether someone can study crime so closely they become part of it… this one's for you.

On January 30th, 1989, the soon to be fourteen-year-old Ilene Misheloff vanished from Dublin, California. She left school early to head home and then attend ice skating lessons, but she never made it. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the disappearance of Ilene Misheloff. Ilene's case has been linked through the years with other girls who have disappeared. Some of those were later solved and proved to not be linked. Still, there has been no shortage of persons of interest in Ilene's case. Some have been ruled out, but others have not. You can help support the show through Patreon.

Join Mike and Morf for part 2 of the Connecticut River Valley killings. In Part 2, we will discuss a couple of additional deaths that may be part of this series, or at least were once thought to be connected, possibly.

From 1968 to 1989 there were a large number of murders in what is known as the Connecticut River Valley. But with the long period of time and bodies found in multiple states, it's hard to know how many of these murders are connected. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss what has become known as the Connecticut River Valley Killings. Law enforcement and online sleuths have tried to dissect these unsolved cases for years, trying to figure out which of them are connected and whether a serial killer was operating in the area.   You can help support the show through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/criminology For news about the podcast, old episodes and more, visit our website.  We'd love to connect with listeners on social media.
