The Crime Paradox (2022) | Wenlei Ma, Kate McClymont, Ann Mossop & Don Weatherburn

Our obsession with true crime is everywhere – from news stories
and podcasts to the big screen. However in recent decades, rates
of almost all crime around the world have declined dramatically,
with the notable exception of sexual assault. Meanwhile the
number of people in prison has increased alarmingly. 


TV and film critic Wenlei Ma, journalist Kate McClymont, and
former Executive Director of the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics
Don Weatherburn investigate why the data on crime, the inmate
numbers and our obsession with these stories doesn’t add up.
