Listeners, Let Me Introduce You to Crime in America
Manage episode 333234734 series 3367340
Can we use math to determine who is most likely to make you a homicide victim? How has criminal behavior changed in the past 70 years? How long does a robber take before deciding to rob someone? Take a quick listen and let me answer these questions in this short, 20 minute episode. I deliver no less than two facts about crime and incarceration per minute that you can take to the bank or your next family gathering to make life interesting.
