About this episode

Lex and Greg discuss the politics of tough-on-crime policies, the meaning of “community expectations” in sentencing, and the evidence on whether prison reduces reoffending. They also discuss the Sue Neill-Fraser case, human rights in custody, and what Australia's criminal court statistics reveal about Australia's modern day justice system.
