About this episode

Emeritus Professor of Criminology David Wilson discusses Simon Levy as a textbook sexual predator and the societal implications of predatory behavior.

In this episode Emeritus Professor of Criminology David Wilson tells Caroline that Simon Levy was a textbook sexual predator who should have never slipped through the net. He says the way Levy was attacking women on the tube always had the potential to escalate to rape and to murder and until all men are more willing to stand up and call out predatory behaviour, the danger men like Simon Levy pose will continue to be underestimated.
