I've never felt so unsafe in that environment that any police environment I've been in. Yeah, and that's why, if you look at the sentences in the adult justice system, you tend to do at two thirds of it, and then you get a third for remand, for parole.
Ever wondered what drives someone to commit the unthinkable? In this eye-opening episode of 'Making Sense of Chaos', hosts Maddie Brygel and Jason Weel sit down with forensic psychologist William Wainwright, who brings over two decades of experience to the table. They tackle some heavy topics, including the psychology behind sexually abusing a child, the shame cycle in repeat offending, and the trauma endured by emergency service workers.
William sheds light on how offenders justify their actions, often through twisted thinking and cognitive distortions. But it's not just about understanding the offenders; the episode also delves into the ripple effects of trauma on those in high-stress jobs like policing. Jason even shares some of his own experiences from his time as a police officer and later as a correctional officer, offering a raw look at the emotional toll such careers can take.
One of the standout moments is when they discuss the importance of trauma therapy. William emphasizes that for therapy to be effective, it has to be something the individual is ready to engage in. This episode isn't just about pointing fingers; it's about understanding the complex web of factors—historical, environmental, and psychological—that contribute to offending behavior. For anyone grappling with these issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights.
It’s a must-listen for those interested in the darker aspects of human psychology and the pathways to recovery.
