Translating Criminal Law
A law professor and his 12 year old daughter (joined occasionally by his 10 year old son) explore what the criminal law actually does in this podcast designed to “translate” difficult criminal law concepts for kids and anyone interested in the law. It’s “Rated G” because the terms are simplified, and we leave out some of the gorier aspects of what goes into criminal behavior.
