That statistic about women being murdered by partners is absolutely wild.

Her reading these silly names and answering professionally is so funny to me

Jillian was one of my criminal justice professors in college. She is amazing and I’m so happy they got her on here

Jillian is amazing at presenting information. It's a crime she hasn't been on before.

I’m glad you included the part about “…without really feeling them” in regards to psychopaths mimicking of others’s emotions they don’t understand. As someone on the autism spectrum, the challenges in understanding other people’s emotional states is very real, but that does not mean we LACK empathy or aren’t sensitive to emotions generally. The trouble is that we often shut down due to how overwhelming the intensity of feeling them truly is.

I love how they follow up a video about Pickpocketing with an interview with a literal Criminologist

Domestic abuse is such a big issue with small coverage... It's tragic

WIRED has got to be one of the best channels on youtube, this content is so good

On my dating profile it says my idea of a perfect first date would be hiking...I'm going to change it to a well attended/crowded...anything

Great presenter, love her straightforward, non biased answers

Seems kinda obvious to me why murders would increase when families are suddenly forced to hang with each other and no one else 24/7.

“Was Victorian England stabby” 😂😂😂

fun fact: sociopathy or psychopathy are not listed in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders used by mental health professionals. Instead they refer to what's known as antagonistic personality disorders, most notably anti-social personality disorder which is most commonly associated with serial killers.

“End up accusing people who are truly innocent” the justice system does this all the time.

That chart she pulls out at comparing the US with other countries is only for gun homicides, not all homicides as she says. It literally says it right on the chart (timestamp

I think it's dangerous to describe a surefire sign of psychopathy being unable to read others emotions and mimicking them back. That's also just many on the autism spectrum who already face enough challenges in life without others assuming that they are psychopaths

We need her back for sure. So informative and interesting.

Just wanted to say that someone not being able to figure out someone's emotions and mimicking them back is also common in autistic people, who are no more or less violent or empathetic than neurotypical people. Autistic people often have hyper-empathy, we just might not be able to recognize that someone is communicating that emotion to us, and thus come across as cold and uncaring when really we never want to burt someone's feelings and make them feel ignored/dismissed/ what have you. It's about not being able to quickly recognize the visual and tonal ques of someone's emotion, but that doesn't mean we can't relate and feel empathy for it once we realise whats going on. Autistic people can have problems verbalizing and outwardly expressing emotions as well as recognizing others doing so, but that doesn't mean we don't have plenty of empathy to go around, just needs to be a bit more on the nose for some of us. Can't tell you how many neurotypical friends have thought I didn't care about their problems, but I thought they were being very blazé about them and reciprocating the "vibe" because you don't want to like something is a bigger or smaller issue than the person living through it themselves in most situations. I've literally cried because I made some feel bad by not picking up on their feelings and responding accordingly, so obviously not that I lack empathy, i know it hurts to feel minimized and unheard, I just couldn't tell thats what was going on until it comes up later.

I assumed homicide spiked during the covid pandemic because of domestic abuse. Husbands murdering their wives due to lack of escape, and tensions building.

this is one of the best of this series by far. would’ve loved to hear her thoughts about poverty/low income vs crime rate
