Episode 04: Introductory Episode - Mechanisms of Crime and Mainstream Cases

 In this short introductory episode, Estela and Theo introduce Global Criminalisation as a universal topic that will focus on various popular mainstream cases such as Jeffrey Dahmer, Amber Heard, Nikolas Cruz and Chris Watts. They emphasize the significance of Global Crime, as they demonstrate an interconnecting link between global criminalisation and wicked problems, which are rather sophisticated, and impossible to solve. Further, they discuss the upcoming aims for the next episode, which will revolve around Jeffrey Dahmer and his biosocial components, his criminal mindset, and external factors that had caused him to deviate from society and transform into the most renowned serial killer in Milwaukee.

The elements of criminal behavior are broken down as the hosts leave the listeners with a series of rhetorical questions, such as whether punishment is the only reasonable method to solve the complex issue of criminality, whether criminals should be provided with a second chance to correct their deviancy and be reintegrated back into society, and whether criminals are actually born with faulty genes or whether they’re created by society itself through isolation, negligence and various other psychological factors.

The podcast aims to answer these sophisticated questions by relying on expert Guest Speakers in the next upcoming episode, which shall not only explore the depths and crevices of the criminal mind, but shall also provide the listeners with deep insights into why crimes occur in the first place, and what incentives motivate perpetrators to step out of line, despite their knowledge of stringent laws, which enforce strict order within our society.
