Show Notes

How do young people become radicalised? Is it nature or nurture? Or something far more complex?

Dr John Kasinathan is a forensic psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of children and adolescents. 

In this episode, hear about the science of the developing brain, what drives crime in young people, the realities of being an incarcerated child in Australia, and one of the most shocking acts imaginable - a child killing their entire family.
