Episode description

In this episode we look at the Victorian view of criminology as informed by Darwin, the scientific revolution, and recent anthropological finds. We discuss the focus on scientific racism, the belief in the inability of humans to escape their biological destiny, and the extremely dangerous and harmful conclusions this led to. Dan McGinnis joins as guest.
