Summary

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

However, she is anything but misinformed. Not only is Lauren an academic with decades of research in the field, she is also victim of several sexual assaults dating back to her early childhood.

0:00.0	We're bringing Australian True Crime live to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this July,
0:04.3	and I have to tell you that Brisbane sold out already.
0:07.4	Good for you, Brisbane, so we've quickly added a second show.
0:10.3	Now we can't keep adding more shows, so please make sure you get your tickets. Our special guests,
0:15.2	our forensic criminologist Santee Mallet in Brisbane and Sydney and the one and only Charlie Bazzina in
0:19.9	Melbourne. There'll be a Q&A of course so you can ask your own burning questions on the night but you have to book quickly.

1:25.2	For me the goal is to make the world a safer place to stop victimization.
1:31.0	Does prison do that? Does punitive punishment do that? No.
1:35.0	Our guest on Australian True crime today is Lauren.
1:44.0	She brings a perspective on the criminal justice system, particularly the punishment of sex offenders,
1:49.5	that I think many of us will struggle with, but she's anything but misinformed.
1:54.7	Not only is Lauren an academic with decades of research in the field, who currently teaches
1:59.4	criminology at an Australian university, but she's also a victim of several sexual assaults dating back to her childhood.
