TW: DARK TOPICS SUCH AS RAPE AND MURDER ARE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE!

Welcome back to Psyched! This episode is slightly different to our usual wellbeing themed episodes, as Maheen and Katie explore the world of forensic psychology. like many other people, we are fascinated by true crime, and we wanted to see how mental health and the criminal justice system interact. We discuss the argument of 'rehabilitation vs punishment' in prisons, pleading 'non-guilty by reason of insanity' in court, whilst also discussing some of the world's most famous criminal cases, including the Yorkshire ripper. Discussing mental health at a sociological level demonstrates how looking after one's mental health can have a positive impact on the way society functions as a whole, and therefore we believed this an important episode to record. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed creating it!
