What drives people to commit crime – and does prison really work? This session explores psychological and sociological theories from across the political spectrum, examining the causes of criminal behaviour and the effectiveness of sentencing. A thought provoking look at one of society’s most pressing questions: are criminals born, or shaped by their environment?
