To Catch a Thief: The Psychology of a Criminal
Australian Broadcasting Corporation - Festival of Dangerous Ideas

But just what are those "necessary measures"?David Mutton was once the Chief Psychologist for the New South Wales Police and lectures in Forensic Psychology. Speaking at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas, he argues that we should disregard individual rights such as privacy, informed consent and free will, in order to protect the community from serious and organized crime.
