- Selwyn College is delighted to announce another Selwyn Online lecture being live-streamed via TH-cam from the new Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium.
Criminologist and Selwyn alumnus Professor David Wilson talks about his new book concerning a shocking murder case in a tranquil part of England - and then discusses the broader issues of crime and the public preoccupation with murder, its victims and those who commit it.
I just love Professor David Wilson. He is so cogent when explaining criminals and the patterns of their heinous crimes. 👍👍👍
i recently watched 'In the Footsteps of Killers', the Channel 4 series mentioned in David's talk, and found it both enlightening and engaging. David and Amelia, in my view, provided a perfect balance in their observations of the cold cases they covered. I do hope they do another series.
The Prof is amazing, would love to go to one of his talks. His books are awesome, he also looks a bit dishy in this talk 😍
For a fee I’m sure he’d read you a couple of chapters from his book Jackanory style.
Also available for book groups
Love listening to him but his books are trash
What do you mean by dishy?
Hope you know he's gay and in a relationship with another guy
Not true. He is happily married to a lady lawyer and has two kids. You are promoting falsehoods on a public forum. Try and find something better to do with your time.
I cannot believe I have only just seen this discussion. We need Professor Wilson to guest lecture across Australia at the Police academies and at the various universities.
Thank you David. Refreshingly illuminating. Cheers JOHNC (SE 1981)
*Starts Here -> **12:55*
Fascinating talk. Thank you!
David is the MAN! absolute living legend. Great respect for him, his work and his expertise in his field. He is a contender for greatest criminologist on the planet. Devoted his whole life to the justice system in various capacities. Kudos! I'd love to meet him and attend one of his talks some day...
I can't believe the students studying Criminology or Criminal Psychology were not obliged to attend Dr Wilsons talk. Dr Wilson is fascinating to listen to, and arguably one of the best Criminologists in the country, so why would you not attend this event.
I would really like to know his opinions on why Covid has increased overkill situations?
He has a podcast call „IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS“ there‘s an episode title „crime in lockdown“.
@@kchang2269 is it on TH-cam?
@@kchang2269 thank you for that info :)
Sexual sadists can’t be rehabilitated, and should never be released.
Agreed
I'm not sure about that.
I'm not saying you're wrong - but I don't think there's enough evidence to support what you've said.
Some crimes seem more abhorrent than others but does that mean that there's less chance of rehabilitating the perpetrator?
I'm not so sure.
You're not qualified to say this.
@@ppuh6tfrz646Sadism is at the top of the "unable to rehabilitate" list according to professional psychiatrists (not psychologists). There's a reason for that. Psychiatry is a different discipline and clinical professionals are in a better position than psychologists to make this call. Try doing some more research on the genetics side, the side you can't change through drugs.
Fascinating interview. I’ve always wanted to ask David Wilson this question. Does psychopathy or some approximation of it exist in the animal world. If we assume personality exists to some extent in animals can they develop individual pathological behaviors that drive them to engage in behavior that we could describe as against the basic Darwinian drive perpetuate their species? It is my belief that the damage done by psychopathic behavior within a cohesive group most likely has some function that serves biology in a meta sense.
nutbag, there's your answer
All I will say is penguins, you can research the rest for yourself ?
I love professor Wilson I could listen to him for ages would love to go to one of his talks
Me too x
The irony one year later pitchfork is being released it is beggars belief the parole board is not fit for purpose
Lecture begins around 9 00 minute spot ....
Does cooling off work as a way for criminals change there ways of being?
You Can thank Bert Spencer for all this new found Fame and attention!!
The Vanity Fair interview has a much better interviewer and better media quality. It's more interesting and easier to watch.
The vanity fair interview is great I won't disagree however, it's mainly about serial killers in movies and tv, I like to hear him discuss real life offenders - and yes I will admit he does make mention of certain offenders methods of trying to charm him etc, it's just not the same for me as watching something like this
If you're sensation seeking. This is a lecture. The vanity fair interview is very short. This is actual intellectual content here. If you want sensation, go elsewhere. Sheesh.
If you're not very bright...
@@n8vscience842 please be nice to eachother .
@@monkeytennis8861 please be nice to eachother
Dr. Wilson, do offenders know you are making observations of them? So that they could be performing if someone is watching.
On reason to be interested in crime is that it tells you about bits of psychology we dot understand- Extreme cases can evel a bit about less extreme ones.
Hello I am a 44 year old mother if 5 for 18 years know. Time has come in the last couple of years for me to get a career so have been very bissy in house learning killers for all kind in a unexplained way I have been drown to the watts case xx I and the many people hurting there children xx I am going to start university in September can u help me on my path please x
Unsound so interesting good on u people I work with know I'm so interested in why people carry out these terrible crimes prof David Wilson such a lovely man
What are the statistics regarding domestic violence and/or murder in "technologically non-advanced" cultures, or, as some might say, "primitive" tribal societies, emphasis on "tribal"?
Isn't Colin Pitchfork released???
Yes he’s out…
@@liverbirdxoxo1984 now back inside
@@LG-ue6no for now.. parole board has 28 days from his arrest to make a decision, sometimes there’s a hearing (don’t think they need all that though) after that he won’t be able to appeal until 2023! I wish they would give him a whole life sentence, why we are releasing people with 40 conditions Iv no idea. Why was he approaching young women on his long walks, was he getting the urge to rape n strangle them… I’m so angry about it, it’s unbelievable… I read the other day that at one point the parole board said he wouldn’t have to sign the sex offenders register because his crime pre dated the change in law…
He is trying to get parole again,hope hopefully they won’t let him out
13:07
David starts speaking
Just skip the first nine minutes or so…
Because you don't want to learn?
@@n8vscience842 Because it's just technical setup going on for the first 10 mins or so.
58:45
They're sniffy, David, because that programme was utter pony
Not many turned up
It was right in the middle of covid apparently (2021), they were all wearing masks and making distance. I don't think those seats were empty because people weren't interested, probably the university only allowed a handful of people to be in the room.
Twas the time of Covid
So many of us watch true crime videos and documetaries because Hollywood isn't nearly as interesting, real and interestingly flawed as real life anymore.
Also, almost every show has a narcissist antagonist and protagonist these days.
In real life people get to have all their personalities.
Why the face nappies?
Emilia Fox brings nothing to this programme. Would be much better if Professor Wilson presented on his own.
Starts 12:50
Colin Pitchfork did not kill two young women. He killed two children!!! Please don't use language that minimises what he did.
I’m unsure how age of victims minimises rape and murder. Killing and raping is not less heinous if one victim is older than another, a crime against a man is not less abhorrent than a similar crime committed against a woman, nor is a crime less ghastly committed against a person who is seen as fully able versus the crime committed against a person with a disability. If we try to calibrate our perception of such notions, it will take us down rabbit holes where we must consider innumerable connections and representation of the victims so that we lose sight of the victim’s, our criminal’s and our own humanity. How societies treat various groups within our communities providing the framework within which, crimes can be more readily committed and criminals are able to escape trial and punishment is a leading part of this brief discussion.
Make that 10.30…
That fly is distracting
Is it just me,or is Wilson about as intelligent as that football in cast whatever?As far as I know primates are the closest to Humans,so if that's the case,I reckon it's possible that psychopathy may exist within said primates,remember the guy that got mangled by those chimps for bringing a chocolate cake for their Chimp that they had to give over because they couldn't control because the primate had the strenght of 10 men.The one that ripped off that lady's face,that's a whole different situation.....Been given Valume and wine and seriously over weight,but yes if the Primate has the pretty much the same DNA as humans well then why not Physcopathy
The fly sure knows how to be noticed xD Also, why is there so few people in the Audience? A travesty in my opinion!
Covid rules at the time
Dishy? better watch u might get obsessed 😂
more men are the victims of violence than women prof
Yes, from other men. Women are overrepresented in inter-gender violence.
Not death by other men
David Wilson often irritates me when he's on TV.
You see him returning to the scene of a murder 40 years after the crime was committed and he's there taking photos of a hedge or some bushes...
You would make a great detective
@@iJorded I know.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 he does do that..I agree but also I think he does it incase anyone he interviews or gains info from may mention that Bush then he has a picture for further references in the future
@@iJorded I don't think a bush will yield much information forty years after a crime has been committed.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 you never know.. the Bush could have committed the crime
This guy is bogus all he does is state the obvious anyone with no training just an average bit of common sense can come up with tje statements this charlatan says what a charachter no kidding anyone mister
Really like this man man of many best out there love u david and ur work
I think David Wilson is brilliant and he has empathy and can maintain decency towards suspects which let's them still know he has formed and opinion and he is not afraid to take these suspects on. David, I just respect you so much.
It's all about once you have a degree in this subject
Your are believed to be right
When in reality it is only an opinion
@@ronm9101 you are right some people ate also gifted with the power of percrption i believe i have a good sense of that what i am saying is that i havent heard anything from this guy that i didnt or dont already know or think there must be so many people out there the same who could have opunions just as accurate as him if not more and sometimes i think he gets it wrong when he is delving deep into someones psyche when it could be something a whole lot simpler i think lots of people are took in by people who can talk well and put a good story together and he makes a fortune sharing his OPINION as you say but sounds good doing it for me thats all he is
@@johncartledge7313 it is scary
Because if a member of a jury listened to him After he is introduced as professor
You would be inclined to take his opinion as fact
And mister XYZ could give his excellent opinion As he is self taught
The QC would make sure that the one who has the title is the one to believe
Jurys are coned by a story
Make a book about other people's misery. Am I alone in thinking get on with your job then, stop making Capital out of it!
