The Murder of Calum Simpson: Do We Really Treat Male and Female Victims Differently? - Part 2

August 13
32 mins

Episode Description

After researching dozens of studies, court decisions, and primary sources, we discovered the answer wasn't nearly as simple as we expected.

Do men receive more justice than women?

Are women taken less seriously?

Or are different myths shaping how we perceive different victims?

In Part 2, we examine what the research actually says about victim credibility, gender stereotypes, reporting, prosecution, and sentencing—and why the evidence challenged some of our own assumptions.

Because the biggest surprise wasn't whether gender matters.

It was how it matters.
