Should we be looking more into Global Criminology than poverty induced criminology? Today we talk to David Scott to find out more about what this means and how our values and integrity are enough to make the changes individually for the sake of the collective.
Does your body react to certain words, meanings and are you highly sensitive to how it makes you react and behave and think?
This episode is a classic example of how "Criminology" used to make me react until David Scott very kindly talked us through how 'love' could make a difference if we actually gave it a go. #allweneedislove
