REWIND | The psychology of youth crime & radicalisation

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.  If you or anyone you know needs help: Lifeline (Crisis support and suicide prevention) 13 11 14 Kids Helpline (Phone and online counselling service for young people aged 5 - 25) 1800 Respect (National sexual assault, family and domestic violence counselling line) 1800 737 732 Full Stop Australia (National violence and abuse trauma counselling and recovery Service) 1800 385 578 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
