A fascinating, accessible and beautifully presented deeper look at some of the findings of the Global Organized Crime Index, considering specific regions, countries and crimes of note. Episode on Ecuador is particularly prescient.
Apple Podcasts5sophy kohlerSouth Africa2 years ago - A good listen on the way to work
This is a really well done podcast. It covers some challenging subject matter but does it in a really interesting way. I plug it in and listen on the way to work. The episodes aren’t overly long, and the different speakers are knotted together really well in the stories. This group also does other podcasts around crime. If you like this one then I suggest checking them out for the other ones too.
