Laura and Jim interview Professors Jillian Petersen and James Densley, co-founders and co-presidents of The Violence Project, a nonprofit, non-partisan research center best known for its mass shooter database, funded by the National Institute of Justice.

Together they have written a book called 'The Violence Project: how to stop a mass shooting epidemic.' They have interviewed perpetrators and victims and their families with the aim of preventing future mass shootings. Building on their coverage and analysis of Columbine and other mass shootings, Laura and Jim discuss their findings including making the links across violent offending behaviour, the red flags, the pathway to murder and early identification, intervention and prevention opportunities.

KILLER CASTING PODCAST - Next up is an episode that no TRUE CRIME follower will want to miss. We review the film “Nitram” starring Caleb Landry Jones, Judy Davis and Anthony LaPaglia. This disturbing but important film is based on the horrific mass shooting massacre that happened in Port Arthur, Tasmania on April 28th, 1996 — that killed 35 people and wounded 23 others. The film spotlights the behavior of the lone shooter leading up to the murders and highlights several opportunities of intervention that might have derailed his terrifying plan. Joining us is Dr. Tim Watson-Munro, a renowned forensic psychologist who has analyzed the minds of some of the worst criminals of our times. Dr. Tim is not only an expert on mass shooters, but he actually treated many of the victims who survived the Port Arthur attack.
