The criminal justice system traumatises a lot of victims of crimes and traditional views of crime focus on punishment and making people pay, not on the possible trauma an offender faced. In this forensic psychology episode, we investigate the effects of trauma on victims and offenders and question if restorative justice could be a way to get justice for the victims of crimes and help offenders to heal from their trauma so they don't reoffend. This is a perfect criminal psychology episode for anyone wanting to learn more about victimology, theories of offending and justice. 
In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how divorce deepens gender inequalities in parent-child time, why people conform to emotional norms in individualistic cultures more than collectivistic ones, and opinions on human remains in the courtroom.
