Behind The Crime

Investigating the causes, not just the cases.

I hold a degree in Criminology and currently serve as a Probation Officer, working directly with individuals after sentencing. My academic foundation centres on the interplay between crime, harm, and state authority.

Through my role in the criminal justice system, I gain a nuanced perspective: witnessing both the impact of crime on communities and the complex factors that often contribute to offending behaviour.

True crime can be difficult to talk about and even harder to write about responsibly. Every story shared here involves real people, real pain, and lasting consequences.

At Behind the Crime, I aim to explore these cases with empathy, honesty, and respect. The goal is not to glorify violence, exploit tragedy, or excuse criminal behaviour, but to understand the why behind it, the social, economic, and psychological factors that often sit beneath the surface of crime.

I believe that by examining these causes, we can have better conversations about prevention, justice, and harm reduction. My focus is always on learning from what happened, not judging or sensationalising it.

Some posts may discuss sensitive topics such as violence, loss, or trauma. Reader discretion is advised.

If at any point you feel a post could be improved in how it handles sensitive material, I welcome feedback. The aim of Behind the Crime is to shed light and to look beyond headlines, towards understanding and improvement.
