Today I Learned

Are There Serial Killers in Malaysia?


Listen Later

Serial killers are often depicted as a Western phenomenon, with research and popular culture heavily focused on cases from the U.S. and the U.K. In this episode, criminologist Haezreena Begum talks about serial killers from the Malaysian perspective, with a look at how our socio-cultural norms, policing systems and media portrayals may have led to the misclassification of serial killings in the country. We’ll also explore the overlooked trauma faced by victims and families amidst sensationalised narratives of such crimes.
