We are joined by another international subject matter expert this week, in Laura van der Zwet! Learn all about the great work being done by the Dutch Probation Service. Specifically, their International Office. If you have ever watched an episode of Locked Up Abroad, and been curious as to that experience, you are going to love my chat with Laura! Not only has Dutch Probation devised a model to address the issue of their citizen's being detained in prisons outside of the Netherlands, but that have learned how to leverage a network of international volunteers to support it. Always a pleasure learning new cultures and systems...and Laura does not disappoint!

Having reportedly victimized hundreds of children in the early 1900's, Albert Fish's abhorrent paraphilic crimes have been the subject of research for the better part of a century. Presently, much conjecture exist as to whether Fish's crimes were the result of familial mental illness(nature) or environmental abuses suffered as a child(nurture ). Dr. Jerrod Brown provides a fantastic overview of this case, and offers further opportunities to learn more about this case for those who are intrigued.
