This show is aimed at contemporary philosophy which gives context and meaning to the notion of ‘true crime’ by focusing on actual encounters of justice and truth. The podcast asks, ‘what is the nature of crime?’ and ‘how does one go about responding (or not) to its existence?’. Brought to you by the self-dubbed &#39;Kingpin Criminologist&#39; of Mic. in Motion productions, episodes feature conversations about stigma and controversy by getting personal and in-depth. If you are attuned to the meanings of moral error, wrongdoing, and conformity in daily life, then listen in and subscribe – because you have found a regular source of auditory input on contemporary social order.If you care to contribute intellectually or creatively; or just want to leave a comment about something you love to hate, email: <a href="mailto:REXCRIMSHOW@GMAIL.COM" rel="nofollow">REXCRIMSHOW@GMAIL.COM</a>

What does personal experience with incarceration and community supervision tell us about the penal system? This episode features the founder of a popular subreddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ExCons/" rel="nofollow">r/ExCons</a> - where &#39;the reformed make the world a better place&#39;. This show is dedicated to system-impacted people possessing insider knowledge of true criminal justice. I hear about the culture of life in prison, and thereafter. We chat about the order of things in a carceral state. I hear a story of too much stick and too little carrot from a reformed man who tells a tale of punitivity and resilience. Chris talks about his experience with sentencing, navigating security tiers, and the honour that comes from a code of integrity. We hear about probation, parole, and the significance of Pre-Sentence Reports (i.e. &#39;keeping your papers with you&#39;) to prove one&#39;s status inside. We talk about a corrupt economy of expensive telephone calls with loved ones for profit; and the politics of punishment in the United States (the &#39;incarceration nation&#39;). This is a show about giving hope by voicing concern for reform. We touch on the death penalty, issue of false positives, and anecdotes like the &#39;colour&#39; lottery of drug testing leading to a sense of uncertainty and unknowing.  <ul><li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ExCons/" rel="nofollow">r/ExCons - Reformed ExCons Making The World A Better Place</a></li><li><a href="https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/1997/may/15/virginia-warden-stabbed/" rel="nofollow">Virginia Warden Stabbed</a> (December 27, 1996)</li><li><a href="http://rexcons.org/" rel="nofollow">Rexcons</a> &#39;Help End Recidivism&#39;</li><li><a href="https://howtojustice.org/" rel="nofollow">How to Justice</a></li></ul>

What does travel, culture, and music have to do with one another? I hit up my old friend Guy in the Netherlands where we reminisce about our former trio band <a href="https://commajoe.bandcamp.com/album/the-reign-of-the-robot-king" rel="nofollow">The Robot Kings</a>. We talk about Dutch art, entertainment and language. We touch on &#34;Black Lives Matter&#34; and the tradition of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet" rel="nofollow">Zwarte Piet (aka Black Pete)</a> as well as identity politics, victimhood and ‘on being offended’. We discuss how language and culture impact one&#39;s worldview and ponder whether the &#34;world is going to hell in a handbasket&#34; or not. Discussions are not limited to high-crime, &#34;green criminology&#34;, the climate, and issues of sustainability. Guy tells of the eco village and bio diverse habitat he and his partner are cultivating with a community of folks living off-grid; and of course - the tradition of Dutch levees, dykes and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_control_in_the_Netherlands" rel="nofollow">Flood control in the Netherlands</a> - or rather as he describes a “landmass won from the sea”.

Where are the lines drawn as to who is inside or excluded from society? In this exclusive interview I talk to PJ who explains about his minor-attraction and commitment to abstain from any contact with minors. We discuss experiences of stigma, coming out, and finding support toward the laudable goals of activism: a) decreasing child-sexual abuse; and b) creating safer spaces for folks with pedophilia. We talk about psychosocial distress; diagnostic materials and uncover terminology around &#34;chronophilias&#34; to discern orientations from disorders and thoughts juxtaposed to behaviour. PJ talks about a moral standard of doing no harm and we explore the origins of nature versus nurture to dispel some myths about popular perception and stereotypes. We talk about acronyms and lingo of the community and discuss concern for personal accountability especially regarding pornography/art. We make mention of leading researchers: <a href="http://www.jamescantor.org/" rel="nofollow">James M. Cantor</a> and <a href="http://individual.utoronto.ca/michaelseto/" rel="nofollow">Michael C. Seto</a> in explaining this phenomenon while emphasizing the need for peer support to avoid abusive circumstances.  Preventative resources<a href="https://troubled-desire.com/en/" rel="nofollow">Prevention Project Dunkelfeld (Troubled Desire)</a><a href="https://www.thepreventionpodcast.com/" rel="nofollow">The Prevention Podcast</a><a href="https://mapsirlpodcast.home.blog/" rel="nofollow">MAPs IRL Podcast Blog</a><a href="https://mapsupport.club/" rel="nofollow">MAP Support Club</a><a href="https://www.b4uact.org/" rel="nofollow">B4U-ACT</a><a href="https://www.pedofilie.nl/" rel="nofollow">Pedofilie </a><a href="https://virped.org/" rel="nofollow">Virped</a>

In which ways should society be more accommodating and how do folks describe their needs? &#34;Inceldom&#34; means different things to different people and some views are more radical and misogynistic than others. I chat with X in terms of his being involuntarily alone and single in context of the neurodevelopmental qualities of Asperger&#39;s syndrome. X tells of his struggles with social interaction and nonverbal communication at the ripe age of 22 years as an undergraduate student. We talk about inceldom and the irony of finding community around isolation and concern for “comfort in the suffering&#34;. We observe the ease of self-deprecation opposed to the discipline needed to push comfort zones for oneself. We talk about concurrent disorders, experiences of rejection, and the meanings of being a &#39;weirdo&#39;. X presents as a funny, charming, and honest soul like so many susceptible folks that at one time or another have fallen into the toxic &#34;crab bucket&#34; of self-pity and online groupthink. This one-man-band explains about being shunned and his sense of stigma regarding ableism with introspection on being different.<ul><li><a href="https://www.drglover.com/no-more-mr-nice-guy/the-book.html" rel="nofollow">No More Mr. Nice Guy</a> (by Dr. Robert Glover)</li><li><a href="https://www.psychologyinseattle.com/" rel="nofollow">Psychology in Seattle</a></li><li><a href="https://good2talk.ca/" rel="nofollow">Good2Talk</a></li></ul>

What is within and beyond our control? This episode considers a facet of inceldom known as the <a href="https://incels.wiki/w/Racepill" rel="nofollow">“racepill”</a>. I chat with Patek, a redditor who describes his involuntary celibacy. Despite Patek&#39;s financial success he describes interpersonal aspects of his life as “abysmal”, namely being a virgin at 20+ years of age with which he attributes this plight to his ethnicity, specifically being of South Asian descent in Western society. We chat about hierarchies of attractiveness based on race and the objectivity of beauty juxtaposed to its subjectivity. Patek shares ‘rabbit holes’ he has ventured down leading to beliefs about ‘phenotypes’ thus putting language and ideology into place for the calculability of beauty and attractiveness or <a href="https://incels.wiki/w/Lookism" rel="nofollow">lookism</a> as a basic tenet of inceldom as a worldview. Discussions include globalization, the cultural practice of arranged marriage, ideas about reducing men and women to objective scales; and certain ‘taxes’ associated with incels’ disfavoured attributes. We talk about pornography and masturbation in context of religion and the relationship between sex and violence. We conclude on the notion of perception being projection and question what it may require to shift toward an internal locus of behavioural control in which the adage of ‘mind over matter’ holds true.  <ul><li><a href="https://www.wired.com/2014/04/sexual-healing-bonobos-use-sex-to-de-stress/" rel="nofollow">Sexual Healing: Bonobos Use Sex to De-Stress</a></li><li><a href="https://looksmax.org/forums/ratings.7/" rel="nofollow">Looksmax.org - Men&#39;s Self-Improvement &amp; Aesthetics</a></li><li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IncelExit/" rel="nofollow">IncelExit (Reddit Group)</a></li><li><a href="https://incels.wiki/w/Racepill" rel="nofollow">Racepill (Incels Wiki)</a></li></ul>

I chat with my long-time friend and self-described<a href="https://www.circus-monkeys.com" rel="nofollow"> </a><a href="https://www.circus-monkeys.com" rel="nofollow">Circus Monkey</a>, Maureen. She shares her experience in fitness, dance, and finding love in travel while reporting on her life from Israel. We talk about the state of the pandemic along with her understanding of the current conflict and civil unrest there. We talk about bringing new life into the world - and SHE ANNOUNCES HER PREGNANCY on the podcast! We observe a feminine double-standard in fitness regarding her recent television appearance on <a href="https://www.mako.co.il/tv-ninja_israel/2021-articles/Article-f6a3ba261dcc571026.htm" rel="nofollow">Israel Ninja</a>. Maureen showcases her Wim Hoff breathwork as we chat about nonsensical policy, inoculation, and viral surveillance. She adheres to “facts over fear” rhetoric and emphasizes vaccination as personal choice. And we both observe paradoxes that undermine health messaging such as negligence in popular discourse about nutrition, vitamin supplementation, and lifestyle while negotiating a new post-pandemic rule of order.    <ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR07K6J8H8o" rel="nofollow">Maureen on Aerial Hoop (2015 YouTube Video)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mako.co.il/tv-ninja_israel/2021-articles/Article-f6a3ba261dcc571026.htm" rel="nofollow">Maureen &amp; Tal’s journey from the Caribbean to Ninja Israel (2020 Video/Article)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWeRDaXwchY" rel="nofollow">Earth element - circus monkeys creation on aerial hoop (2021 YouTube Video)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/fact-check-no-india-is-not-suing-bill-gates-for-wrongful-polio-vaccination-deaths-2595499.html" rel="nofollow">Fact Check: No, India is Not Suing Bill Gates for Wrongful Polio Vaccination Deaths</a></li></ul>

What is the role of government? In this episode I catch up with my old friend and bandmate <a href="https://commajoe.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">Comma Joe</a>. We talk about “sounds on the periphery of society” including his experience in International Development stemming from graduate studies at Utrecht University, where we first met. I hear about his time in Togo, Uganda, and Chad and learn about Water and Sanitation Health (WASH) issues in contextof the global pandemic. We talk some about research methods and then turn to vaccines and travel - along with inoculation passports; and security theatre observing concern about a rise in authoritarianism globally. Discussions are not limited to the frontier of Texas and gun regulation; comments on the effects of globalization and Steven’s personal story getting COVID-19 in Africa.

This is a story about the opioid epidemic and federal prison time. Tupelo tells of his addiction and drug offence stemming from employment at a pharmacy. His crime: one count conspiracy to distribute oxycontin leading to life lessons on drugs, alcohol and relapse prevention. He completed a 9 month residential drug and alcohol program while at a minimum security prison he calls “club fed”. Tune in to hear about a story of redemption, experiences with sentencing, and the politics between state and federal prosecutors. We talk about navigating tiers of security and bouncing between multiple facilities before arriving at a final destination, Federal Prison Camp Montgomery.

What does it mean to be a subject of risk and how do you respond to it? John describes his experience in this episode as an individual subject to the sex offender registry in Colorado. He was convicted of a sex crime and sentenced to 2 years of prison and 10 years of probation after pleading no contest to his offence. His story provides a visceral account of the barriers faced navigating the justice system, from lawyers in court, to prison guards, probation officers, polygraph technicians, to public perception at large. John recounts his story with insight on how to reform the system while reflecting on his wrongs; and we explore the extent of necessary retribution thereafter. At what point can one be redeemed? What is the difference between victims and offenders and our responses to each? What works and where is there need for improvement in the (US) prison system?  Reference<a href="https://books.google.ca/books/about/The_New_Jim_Crow.html?id=_SKbzXqmawoC&redir_esc=y" rel="nofollow">The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander</a><a href="https://books.google.ca/books?cad=3&id=9WRzxtTBkPgC&pg=PP5&source=gbs_selected_pages#v=onepage&q&f=false" rel="nofollow">The Handbook of Epictetus</a><a href="https://www.google.ca/books/edition/Crime_Control_as_Industry/A_BrApwufosC?dq=Crime+Control+as+Industry&gbpv=1&hl=en&printsec=frontcover" rel="nofollow">Crime Control as Industry</a>

How do you value your time? When is one redeemable and at what cost? Josh was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for attempted murder and served his time from age 19 to 27. This is not a perspective on prison abolitionism but pay per service prison fare. It is a story about ‘day for day sentencing’ (i.e. no time off for any reason) also known as mandatory minimum sentencing and limiting judicial discretion. Yet Josh tells of his resilient account on surviving prison while discovering a creative talent in a hostile and austere place. He talks about leveraging his art skills and gaining useful experiences inside leading to success on the outside; but not without barriers. He tells of his experience giving back through community organization and mentorship and shares his story about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Oregon_Ballot_Measure_11" rel="nofollow">Oregon Mandatory Sentences (aka Measure 11</a>) along with some deleterious effects of coercion and fear tactics in pre-trial resolutions.  References<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/689329.Seductions_Of_Crime" rel="nofollow">Seductions Of Crime: Moral And Sensual Attractions In Doing Evil</a><a href="https://www.industrialareasfoundation.org/" rel="nofollow">Industrial Areas Foundation</a><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4633690/" rel="nofollow">Shock Collar (Movie)</a>

Is going to jail primarily for rehabilitation or punishment? This episode takes a true ‘inside’ perspective on mental health and prison. I speak with a young woman from Indiana who discusses drug conspiracy charges and her own addiction and recovery. This is a story of personal redemption in the effects of the ‘War on Drugs’ in an opiate epidemic. We discuss her experience in county jails and state prison in context of the <a href="http://www.mutualresponsibility.org/culture/stanford-prison-experiment-shows-how-the-abuses-at-abu-ghraib-could-be-perpetrated-by-otherwise-good-people" rel="nofollow">Stanford Prison Experiment</a> and the subreddit support group available for those with encounters of the justice system. We talk about lessons learned and pathways for success in overcoming trauma and criminalization. This is her big debut going public and illustrating some infuriating paradoxes of being incarcerated. <ul><li>Support Kat in recovery by visiting her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/thekatscrochet/" rel="nofollow">ESTY STORE</a></li><li>Check out <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ExCons/" rel="nofollow">r/ExCons</a> subreddit </li></ul>

What does it mean to be involuntarily celibate today? How does one describe the experience of being an &#39;incel&#39;? In this episode, I explore an exclusive perspective from a fellow from an Internet subreddit on his plight of intimacy incapacitation and preoccupation with sex. We talk about subjectivity v. objectivity, the ‘manosphere’ and online dating in the age of COVID-19. Discussions include virginity and “men going their own way” with a sociological look at ideologies about online subculture. We discuss the perception of ‘incels’ as violent and reference some media accounts, specifically a case in Toronto’s recent history. We explore adages of the past including &#39;spinsters&#39; in a nuanced discussion with this highly insightful individual whom I explore internal and external loci of behavioral control. Topics are not limited to pornography, masturbation, religion, dogma and indoctrination. In short, this episode explores an axiom of hereditarianism and personal improvement around putting the &#39;p&#39; in the &#39;v&#39;.   References<a href="https://www.selfbooks.com/authors/robert-glover/" rel="nofollow">A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love, Sex, and</a><a href="https://www.selfbooks.com/authors/robert-glover/" rel="nofollow">Life by Dr. Robert Glover</a><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-04/incel-who-killed-10-in-toronto-truck-attack-found-guilty/13215152" rel="nofollow">&#39;Incel&#39; … in Toronto … found guilty after autism defence</a><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-04/incel-who-killed-10-in-toronto-truck-attack-found-guilty/13215152" rel="nofollow">rejected</a><a href="https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html#gsc.tab=0" rel="nofollow">Maslow&#39;s Hierarchy of Needs</a>

To what extent does society have a responsibility to help those in need? I chat with a long-time friend and an addiction case manager. We discuss drug policy, and decriminalization as well as approaches of abstinence and harm reduction. We talk about fiscal responsibility, the power of language, addictions medicine, and public perception of safe/supervised injections sites and methadone clinics; with a view on saving money regarding preventative measures. We talk about Universal Basic Income and the Canada Emergency Response Benefit while at times getting off topic and reminiscing about old days in school and as bandmates. We touch on vaccines and the housing market in Canada and observe a trend of people fleeing cities leading to bidding wars in suburban and rural communities. We loop back to differentiate ‘mental health’ and ‘mental illness’ and the resurgence of empirical evidence about psychedelics. This episode is centered around topics of compulsivity and habits that reward us based on chemicals in the brain - leading to realizations of self-improvement, weight loss, and addressing intergenerational trauma. We conclude chatting with strategies of self-care, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and the insidious effects of occupational stress in a chaotic work-life balance, especially for folks required to work from home.    LISTEN<a href="https://samharris.org/podcasts/130-universal-basic-income/" rel="nofollow">UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME: A Conversation with Andrew Yang</a> READ <a href="https://michaelpollan.com/books/how-to-change-your-mind/" rel="nofollow">How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan</a>; <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6504869-punishing-the-poor" rel="nofollow">Punishing the Poor by Loïc Wacquant</a>;  MORE REFERENCES<ul><li><a href="https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2002/05/30/industry/" rel="nofollow">Crime Control as Industry by Nils Christie</a></li><li><a href="http://irvinwaller.org/featured-books/llmo/" rel="nofollow">Less Law, More Order by Irvin Waller</a></li><li><a href="https://drcarlhart.com/" rel="nofollow">Dr. Carl Hart</a> (Columbia University) and his book Drug Use for Grown-Ups</li><li>Universal Basic Income News Article (CBC) <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/basic-income-mcmaster-report-1.5485729" rel="nofollow">People kept working, became healthier while on basic income: report</a><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/basic-income-mcmaster-report-1.5485729" rel="nofollow">	</a></li></ul>

I listen to the perspective of an ICU nurse working in a small-town hospital in Ontario, Canada. We reminisce about old times including Lollapalooza 2017; deep dish pizza, Chicago, and the days of international travel; our friendship, virginity, incel culture and love. We talk about the Gamestock and Robinhood saga in context of the ‘great reset’ and touch on the heroism of nursing since the pandemic. We talk about wearing (or not) a mask, when to, how to, and why. We talk about ICU beds and resources during a pandemic and nursing in the age of COVID from the perspective of a healthcare provider; as well as other subjects including psychedelics, stocks; and the origins and future of The Rexcrim Show.  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nursespeak/id1503421427" rel="nofollow">NurseSpeak</a> Podcast see <a href="https://www.nursespeak.com/" rel="nofollow">NurseSpeak.com</a><a href="https://books.google.ca/books?id=rmlFDwAAQBAJ&source=gbs_book_other_versions" rel="nofollow">Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now</a> by Jaron Lanier<a href="https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/civil-liberties-lawyer-concerned-after-toronto-s-adamson-barbecue-owner-billed-for-police-response-1.5321944" rel="nofollow">Toronto&#39;s Adamson Barbecue owner billed for police response</a><a href="https://tnc.news/2021/02/22/adamson-barbecue-billed-187000-by-city-of-toronto-for-november-protests/" rel="nofollow">Adamson Barbecue billed $187,000 by City of Toronto</a>

What does it take to consider the Internet a utility and how might it be regulated? I chat with an old pal, Torey, on being laid-off during COVID-19; the luxury of sports in liberal democracy, and experiences of welfarism in Canada. We delve into the echo chamber and discuss the digital ‘cesspools of humanity’ with implications for Edward Snowden’s autobiography <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_Record_(autobiography)" rel="nofollow">Permanent Record</a>. We explore preconditions for online ‘lynch mobbing’ and chat Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and strategies to accessing the web; in consideration of Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon in terms of modern-day self-governance. We talk about being a ‘lurker’ online and discuss free speech, privatization and the erosion of secularism in government. We chat Canadian criminal justice and issues of plea deals - circling back to misinformation, divisive politics and storming of the US capital. We touch on ‘open secrets’ of sexual assault and domestic violence, especially in context of the film and entertainment industry vis-à-vis the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Jian_Ghomeshi" rel="nofollow">Trial of Jian Ghomeshi</a>.

What is criminology - and what is it not? In this episode I connect with my old grad-school friend from the <a href="https://www.uu.nl/masters/en/global-criminology" rel="nofollow">MA Program in ‘Global Criminology’</a> and talk about all things criminological. <a href="https://www.rug.nl/staff/a.c.belloir/" rel="nofollow">Alex Belloir</a> is a PhD candidate at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. We touch on diverse subjects not limited to the ‘CSI Effect’, criminological verstehen, ethnography and some of the epistemologies of crime and social disorder. We delineate matters concerning the age old debate of structure and agency and explicate the tenets of critical and cultural criminology; ranging from research methods to a variety of topics including drug and housing markets, pedophiles, psychonauts, and the decriminalization of psychedelics to name a few. We also touch on Netflix shows including <a href="https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/80114855" rel="nofollow">MINDHUNTER</a> and talk about its efficacy in terms of theory.  <ul><li>FURTHER READING: <a href="https://nyupress.org/9780814705094/toward-a-unified-criminology/" rel="nofollow">Toward a unified Criminology</a></li><li>FURTHER LISTENING: <a href="https://www.podcastdecriminoloog.nl/afleveringen/seizoen-2/aflevering-4-smuggling-cocaine-from-latin-america-to-europe-with-damian-zaitch/" rel="nofollow">&#39;De Criminoloog&#39; Episode</a> featuring <a href="https://www.uu.nl/staff/DZaitch" rel="nofollow">Dr. Damián Zaitch </a></li></ul>

What does Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify, Youtube, Facebook, Reddit, and every other ‘feed’ share in common? I chat feedback loops with my old kindergarten pal who happens to be a Systems Architect in the digital space. We chat about software, algorithms, machine learning, cloud computing, piracy, torrenting, and gamification; and take issue with the view ‘if you’ve got nothing to hide then you have no need to worry’. We touch on privacy, security, racialized emojis and impropriety in the (digital) workplace. We talk about how nothing is free online and the fine-print of technology. Do you read the ‘terms of service’ or ‘privacy policy’ or just click agree and install the software? For anyone running an operating system, interested in open source, and strategies of keeping safe online - listen on.

I converse with my long time friend BASES LOADED about his debut, multi-instrumental solo album <a href="https://basesloaded.bandcamp.com/album/computers-breakups-sparkling-water" rel="nofollow">computers breakups sparkling water</a>. We chat about life as an artist in the age of COVID, as well as what it’s like recently becoming a father - and the meaning of leaving a legacy. Mostly in agreement with each other we ‘preach to the choir’ so to speak, and chat about making one’s own kind of music in the digital age; and the incessant demand for greater content. We attempt to distinguish art from artists in cases of John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presely, CeeLo Green, Chuck Berry, Chris Brown, Ariel Pink, and Lewis Carol to name a few. Can one redeem themselves after a fall from grace these days? We talk friendship through thick and thin including pandemic.

I go back to my roots and chat with my mother on her concern about ‘gender ideology’ and the recent LGBTQ2S+ saga involving Youthline and Toronto Catholic District School Board. We talk contemporary philosophy centered around pain and marginalization; touching on the church, religion, and sexuality from intergenerational views by rural-mother and urban-son. Our discussion arrives at a time that calls for consensus and meaning making around social structures, and the contemporary work of ‘safety policing’. We delve into some of her Ministry as an ordained pastor - working with men and women often in conflict with the law. We consider faith juxtaposed to science; and attempt to tackle the problem of groupthink. In this episode we make sense of the divisive politics surrounding that which is queer and how language and rhetoric are seemingly ‘weaponized’ in daily life. For those familiar with the age-old implore to ‘think of the children’, here is a moral panic up for discussion about human rights; and the need for social responsibility.  SHOW NOTE REFERENCES  <ul><li><a href="https://www.youthline.ca/who-we-are/mission-vision-values/" rel="nofollow">Youthline: Mission, Vision and Values</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youthline.ca/news/tcdsb-jan-11/" rel="nofollow">Youthline: Public Statement (January 11, 2021)</a></li><li><a href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/LegislativeSummaries/432C6E" rel="nofollow">Legislative Summary of Bill C-6: An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/01/15/toronto-catholic-school-board-reposts-lgbt-resource-link-on-website-after-criticism.html" rel="nofollow">Toronto Catholic school board reposts LGBT resource link on website after criticism</a></li><li><a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/7578592/tcdsb-respots-youthline-lgbtq2-link-website-criticism/" rel="nofollow">Toronto Catholic District School Board reposts LGBTQ2 resource link on website after criticism	</a></li></ul>

INTRODUCING: The Rexcrim Show

A Kingpin Criminology Podcast

This show is aimed at contemporary philosophy which gives context and meaning to the notion of ‘true crime’ by focusing on actual encounters of justice and truth. The podcast asks, ‘what is the nature of crime?’ and ‘how does one go about responding (or not) to its existence?’. Brought to you by the self-dubbed 'Kingpin Criminologist' of Mic. in Motion productions, episodes feature conversations about stigma and controversy by getting personal and in-depth. If you are attuned to the meanings of moral error, wrongdoing, and conformity in daily life, then listen in and subscribe – because you have found a regular source of auditory input on contemporary social order.
