Can serial killers ever learn empathy? Is their psychology similar to mass shooters? Why are they almost always men?
Welcome to All in the Mind’s first ever ‘mailbag’ episode!
These are just some of the many questions you sent us after our recent episode on serial killers, called Where have all the serial killers gone?
Forensic psychiatrist Dr Rajan Darjee is back on the show, answering these questions and a whole lot more.
And can we ask a favour? As this is our first mailbag episode, we’d love to know your thoughts. Do you find this kind of format useful or interesting? Would you be keen to hear mailbag episodes more regularly? You can reach us at mind_rn@abc.net.au if you have any feedback.
