Episode Sixteen - The Paradox of Polite Online Grooming

However disturbing the thought online grooming of children and young people is, we reconcile ourselves that we know at least how these predators behave. They’ll manner their interactions down to a victim’s level. They’ll use age-appropriate language to seem accessible. They’ll draw upon the power dynamic of age. Right? Through a new piece of research by Beata Pienczykowski & Pauline Madella called "I was so Afraid All You Wanted from Me Was Sex’: A Corpus Assisted Study in the Pragmatics of Manipulation in Online Child Sexual Groomers" we see how online perpetrators flip this script entirely. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41701-025-00218-0 How victims are manipulated to believe they are the ones with all the power and that what is abuse, is in fact a relationship of equals.

Episode Fifteen - Suicide Within the Police Family

The subject of mental health and suicide is belatedly moving from the shadows into the public conversation. Within policing - a service which by definition is exposes those within it to the extremes of human experience - do the provisions exist to provide adequate support to officers and staff? Do Forces even have aware of the unique risks it's employees are exposed? Do the official statistics even tell an accurate story? The research we are looking at in this episode is called Lives on the Line of Duty: Preventing Suicide Among Police Officers and Staff by Marina Hasan and Lewis Leeming from Leeds Trinity University. It was published in International Journal of Criminology and Policing Education .

Episode Forteen - Is it a "scam" or is it a "fraud"?

What's the difference between a scam and a fraud? Do you have the same reaction when told someone has been scammed as you would if you'd been told they'd been the victim of fraud? That's the question we look at in this week's episode as we look at a paper entitled "More than splitting hairs: Exploring trivialisation and harmful narrative distortion in the synonymous use of ‘scam’ and ‘fraud’". It is authored by Elisabeth Carter, Jack Mark Whittaker, and Tim Day, and published in the journal Crime Media Culture.  https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17416590251393960 To contact A Perspective on Crime follow the link below https://tr.ee/Ymb5yiqRUW ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode Thirteen - Is Now The Time To Call The Police?

When faced with a potentially dangerous situation, at what point do the public think it's right to call the police? Do different demographics asses risk differently and what are the triggers that motivate dialling 999? The title of the work is "Should I Call the Police?’ Exploring Public Views on Whether to Invoke Police in Incidents Involving People with Vulnerabilities". The authors are David Rowlands, Christine A. Weirich, Ben Bradford and Adam Crawford published in The British Journal of Criminology in 2025. https://academic.oup.com/bjc/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bjc/azaf118/8407384 [https://academic.oup.com/bjc/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bjc/azaf118/8407384] To contact A Perspective on Crime follow the link below https://tr.ee/Ymb5yiqRUW [https://tr.ee/Ymb5yiqRUW] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
