Check out a secret "icebreaker" interview with Jackie at patreon.com/hkpodcasts.

In this conversation, Jackie Malton shares her experiences working in prisons and her insights into the psychology of criminals, particularly focusing on masculinity, addiction, and the impact of childhood trauma. She discusses her interviews with a serial killer and the complexities of rehabilitation, self-discovery, and the importance of storytelling in understanding human behaviour. Malton emphasizes the need for self-reflection and the role of mentorship in personal growth, while also addressing the challenges faced by individuals in the prison system.

Jackie and Hugh also discuss various aspects of policing in London, emphasizing the need for geographical restructuring, rebuilding public trust, and understanding gang culture. She explores the role of direct entry in policing, the challenges faced by officers, and the importance of rehabilitation in prisons.

Jackie Malton is a UK-based television script consultant and former senior police officer. Born in 1951, she made history as one of the first openly gay women to rise through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Service. Malton’s remarkable career spanned multiple areas, including the Flying Squad, Murder Squad, and Fraud Squad.

Malton is perhaps most famous for being the inspiration behind the iconic character DCI Jane Tennison in Lynda La Plante’s Prime Suspect drama series. Her experiences as a woman detective in a male-dominated establishment, combined with her bravery in speaking out against police corruption in the 1980s, made her a compelling figure for La Plante’s character.

You can buy Jackie's book - The Rel Prime Suspect - via amazon, at this link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Real-Prime-Suspect-Screen-Detective/dp/B09YMWY4MZ/ref=sr_1_1?nsdOptOutParam=true&sr=8-1
