The reality of crime is a far cry from the 'sensationalisation' in mass media. In the community's efforts to fully understand and manage the underlying causes and effects of criminal activity, unsung heroes such as survivors of crime, advocacy groups and other players often go unnoticed and unacknowledged...Crime Research Expert Dr David Indermaur of the Crime and Research Centre at The University of Western Australia hosts the program. Psychologist Stephen Proud gives insight on criminal activities and the legal discussions are presented by Professor David Malcolm QC (former Chief Justice of WA) and Hon Tom Percy QC. In each episode, Dr Indermaur discusses what the court system is doing about crime and what actually happens in court proceedings and the process of judgment. The series also features perpetrators and victims of crime as well as discussions among various panels of experts who give deeper insight into the issues underlying each topic of crime.--Distributor's website.
