In this episode of 'Deviants' with Danny and Zurc, the hosts discuss the contrasting approaches to policing in the UK and US. They delve into Bonnie Burkhart's book 'Manufacturing Criminals,' which criticizes the US for incentivizing arrests over crime prevention through organizations like the ICAC Task Force. The episode highlights how these perverse incentives can cause victims to turn on other victims, creating a destructive cycle. Through comparisons between vigilante actions and law enforcement tactics in both countries, the hosts emphasize the need for primary prevention and support systems to address unresolved childhood trauma. They argue for a public health approach to reduce abuse and advocate for better, more compassionate resources to help prevent potential crimes.
