In this podcast, psychology journalist, Jo Carlowe interviews Professor Kieran McCartan, Professor of Criminology, and Dr Anna Markham, Forensic Psychologist and Acting Clinical Lead for the Child and Adolescent Harmful Behaviour Service. Together they consider what might predispose a young person to harming sexually, what are the warning signs, and what it means to go beyond criminal justice to a public health approach.
