Murder in slow motion: Claude Robinson & Vince Hurley Pt.2
4/20/20261 hr 4 min
In Part 2 of Gary’s discussion with former detective Dr Vince Hurley and reformed prisoner Claude Robinson on I Catch Killers, the unlikely duo pull back the curtain on a justice system that is failing victim survivors, perpetrators, and the public alike. They argue that the current approach to tackling domestic violence is little more than a "ten-billion-dollar business" that prioritises prison beds over prevention. However, they may have a solution.

[upbeat music] The public has had a long-held fascination with detectives. Detectives see a side of life the average person is never exposed to. I spent 34 years as a cop. For 25 of those years, I was catching killers. That's what I did for a living. I was a homicide detective. I'm no longer just interviewing bad guys. Instead, I'm taking the public into the world in which I operated. The guests I talk to each week have amazing stories from all sides of the law. The interviews are raw and honest, just like the people I talk to. Some of the content and language might be confronting. That's because no one who comes into contact with crime is left unchanged. Join me now as I take you into this world. [upbeat music] In part two of I Catch Killers, I continue discussions with my two guests, Claude Robertson, a former prisoner who is literally making society a better place with his innovative approach to reducing crime. And it comes as no surprise to me that the politicians are sitting up and taking notice of the work that Claude is doing in the managing of the Rainbow Lodge. And we also have Dr Vince Hurley, who has a unique understanding of crime, having been a former cop, now academic. We talk about the dangers of people like Dessey Freeman, and importantly, a program to reduce domestic violence, which I think is a great idea, and also touch on how the justice system doesn't treat everyone equally. Have a listen. Vince Hurley and
