  • Resumen

  • "

    Some crimes are so horrific they attract the harshest punishment possible: a sentence that means the guilty will die behind bars.

    From 'The Crossbow Cannibal' to Moors murderer Myra Hindley, journalist Julian Druker explores the cases of eight criminals with whole life orders and asks what this means for the criminals and society.

    Told through archive news coverage of these crimes, this series explores the judicial and sentencing processes, as well as the legal, ethical and political dimensions of whole life orders.

    We chart the evolution of these whole life sentences from the 1980s to the present day, and explore how politicians' desire to appear 'Tough on crime' has resulted in an increase of the UK prison population.

    Apr 6 2020

    Stephen Griffiths was dubbed ‘the Crossbow Cannibal’ by the tabloid press and he quickly adopted the name himself and courted his ‘evil’ image. Julian explores what we mean by evil, and if it is a word that has a place within criminal justice.

  • Ep. 3: Stephen Port - Defending the Guilty
    Apr 6 2020

    Stephen Port became known as ‘the Grindr Killer’ because he found his victims through gay social networking apps. The case against him was overwhelming – and his legal costs were footed by the taxpayer – Julian asks why we defend the guilty and who should pay for it.
