41 - South Africa's Crime Epidemic

Laurie Pieters-James, criminologist and specialist offender profiler, joins us to confront the staggering crime epidemic in South Africa. As the founder of Cybareti Consulting, Laurie sheds light on the overwhelming rates of rape and murder in the country, where it's no longer a question of if but when a woman will face sexual violence. How did South Africa reach this point, and how can individuals survive in this landscape of criminal chaos? Laurie’s expertise provides a chilling look at the broken justice system. Join us for a jaw-dropping discussion about crime and survival in South Africa.
