i really like this show! it is well researched, informative and always victim centric. one thing that did bother me though is that when listening to the wade wilson episode there were some fat phobic comments made about how he was gross and ugly now that he gained weight. while i don’t sympathize with a murderer/rapist when you say things like that it implies that anyone who gains weight is gross and ugly. it was just disappointing.
Omg I had to leave and just go google the story. Repetitive and not objective. Torture
Listening to Kendall Francois I felt like I was listening to some 1800‘s „white“ talk - racial nonsense in 2025.
Criminal Appeal stands out amongst the true crime podcasts as it features a dual perspective both sociologically and criminologically. Dr. Jordan was my mentor and professor over my years at WCSU and made me fall in love with the field so much that I went to grad school. Her perspective on cases is deep and really helps the people who may not have a criminal justice background understand the victimology and criminology. Great podcast!! So easy to binge.
I am a doctor in the UK (primary care/ family doctor, who diagnoses/treats/cares for numerous mental health patients on a daily basis, and am also child safeguarding lead at my clinic), and I am in absolute awe of your podcast. You frequently put caveats on your opinions by stating that you are not medically trained, however, you have hit the nail on the head in every opinion on every one of your shows I have listened to so far - you could have easily convinced me that you are both forensic psyc... more

This show consistently blends criminology with sociology to unpack high-profile cases, offering rigorous, dual-perspective analyses that illuminate victimology, investigative processes, and media coverage. Episodes frequently weigh legal implications, forensic detail, and social factors to help listeners understand not just what happened, but why it mattered in broader social contexts. A standout trait is the interdisciplinary approach, anchored by two experts who translate complex case dynamics into accessible, educational insights. The format tends to favor case-by-case deep dives with interviews and expert commentary, making it attractive for professionals in crime research, law, psychology, and related fields who want both technical rig... more
