Behavior Bitches

Why is society so fascinated by serial killers? Why does one even commit such a terrible crime and then do it again...and again? In today’s episode, we have Dr. Joni Johnston on to share what her job is like as a forensic psychologist working with serial killers and criminals who have committed horrid crimes. She discusses how she makes “recommendations” that have a huge impact on someone’s life (do we allow this person to be released or stay locked up for life?). Liat shares excitement in anything true crime-related, so much so that she can barely form a sentence #BitchesFangirlToo. Listening to this episode, you will quickly realize that regardless of the field of work you are in, we are all speaking the same language. Crime junkies and friends, tune in or miss the f#%k out.
