A Matter of Crime takes you behind the headlines and gets you a seat beside Australia's leading criminologists and legal scholars. Together, we'll unravel why laws are made, why they're broken, and how we navigate the aftermath. In this episode, we examine one of society's great conundrums - how best to counter the violent extremism that has become a part of modern life. What programs are needed, what intelligence gathering powers are necessary to prevent attacks from happening, and when do those powers go too far, to become an invasion of our civil rights? Nance Haxton interviews Dr Keiran Hardy from the Griffith Criminology Institute - one of Australia's leading researchers on how we reduce the risk of terrorism. And later in the show we join Juliet and Dee for a glass of Crim and Tonic as they answer your questions, unravel your theories, dispel your myths, and quote showtunes.
