In this episode, we take a look at the issue of rising crime rates. Are guns on the streets to blame for the increase in crime we are experiencing? How can we leverage what we know about evidence based practices, particularly what we know about criminogenic factors, into the discussion? And what role has the Defund the Police mantra played in this equation? We discuss all this and more on this very topical episode of The Criminologist podcast!
