#94: Taming the Monsters

Dr. James Cantor studies the brains of pedophiles. He's found statistical similarities among them, things like low IQ and left-handedness - and these similarities seem to indicate that pedophilia is already in the brain at birth. Based on these findings and those of other researchers, he advocates for a shift away from the current punishment-based way of dealing with pedophiles towards a model of prevention and psychological treatment. JP talked to him about his MRI research, "gold-star pedophiles", and new ways of keeping our kids safe. Theme music, as always, by Drew Danburry.
