The Human Side Of Crime - Part Two w Criminologist Dr Kathryn Whiteley

Criminologist Dr Kathryn Whiteley returns to continue her powerful exploration of prison reform, rehabilitation, and the lived experiences of incarcerated women.

In Part Two of this special episode, Dr Whiteley dives deeper into the long-term impacts of incarceration — both on the women she’s worked with and on herself. From navigating grief and vicarious trauma to witnessing moments of profound change, Kathryn shares what she's learned about listening without judgement and the transformative potential of human connection inside the justice system.

This conversation challenges stigma, re frames justice, and reminds us of the power of empathy in spaces where it’s often forgotten.
