Short Cut: Why The Whole Story Matters When Sex Crimes Go To Court.

This is an Australian True Crime short cut. It’s an abridged version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Why The Whole Story Matters When Sex Crimes Go To Court.

Criminologist Patrick Tidmarsh specialises in teaching police how to interview victims of sexual assault and sex offenders in the hope that he can have some positive impact in the pathetically low rates of conviction in that area. He joins us to talk about his new book ‘The Whole Story’.

NEXT WEEK

Terror Knocks in FNQ - A young man is woken in the dead of night by a terrfied woman at his door. He barricades the two of them inside against the men from whom she’s fleeing, none of whom he knows, and frantically calls police for help. Before help arrives, he’s forced to defend himself and the 000 operator listens helplessly as the men outside lose patience and invade his home. What follows is a tragedy.

Author Robyn Bowles sheds light on how this bizarre night really unfolded.
