This week, Tiggy and James look into the concept of social learning theory in its very simplest terms. They next look into the background of Fred and Rose West. Note: whilst their victims are mentioned, we discuss more about their background rather than going into detail about their horrific crimes.

Welcome back to Case by Concept! We kick off season three by discussing the important concept of rapport, and how it can help bring closure to many families of those with missing or deceased loved ones. Tiggy and James are up to their usual bullsh*t and gallows humour, and we look at serial killer Richard Cottingham.

Tiggy and James discover that a serious violent offence case can start within the prison walls itself. We explore the consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator of the crime and James goes on a rant in this seasons final episode.
