Deka Simmons, a career criminal, took justice into her own hands, killing a man with a questionable past. But was it true justice, or a twisted desire to satisfy her own violent urges? Join us as we dive into the underlying factors that may have contributed to her actions, including sociopathy, antisocial risk factors, and disproportionate fear of a nonviolent offender. We also discuss the importance of early intervention for antisocial behavior, and Nat gives an overview of MRT as a treatment modality and why it makes her the least popular therapist in town.
