This week we talk with Cassia Spohn who is a professor at Arizona State University's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice. We asked Cassia about some of the myths and issues that come up whenever we see high profile cases like Deshaun Watson and Johnny Depp/Amber Heard come up regarding sexual assault. Cassia also discusses with us what goes into the police making decisions to arrest and prosecutors deciding to file charges in cases of sexual assault. A truly heartbreaking but informative episode!
Cassia Spohn has been published in journals such as Criminology, Social Problems, and Law & Society Review.
