This week the girls are covering criminal justice! Linna explains the current political climate surrounding crime and punishment in Sweden and explains how it got to this point. Marlena tells a very sad story very badly, but explains her possibly controversial opinions about the sex offender registry as well as why the criminal justice system needs more empathy.
CW: In this episode we talk in depth about the abduction, sexual assault, and murder of Jacob Wetterling. The girls also discuss pedophilia and sexual assault as well as various other sex crimes. If you think this might be upsetting, this is not the episode for you!!
