Could climate change turn you into a criminal?

The Briefing

About this episode

Headlines: Israel stalls on signing Gaza ceasefire deal, Trump could save TikTok, the AO has a new villain and new study shows older siblings and girls are their parent's favourites.

Helen Smith's deep dive on TikTok is available now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Deep Dive: When you think of hot days, you might think of iced drinks, flicking on the AC or rushing to your nearest beach. But, what about more crime?

Science says the two are connected, with one Australian study suggesting by the end of the century – we'll experience over 1.5 million more crimes all thanks to a global rise in temperatures. Is there any truth to it and if so, what is it about the heat that encourages criminality?

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by Associate Professor Lindsie Arthur from the University of Melbourne’s School of Psychological Science to unpack it all.
