Dr. Ann Burgess joins the show to discuss her book Expert Witness: The Weight of Our Testimony When Justice Hangs in the Balance. An internationally recognized pioneer in the assessment and treatment of trauma and abuse victims, Dr. Burgess collaborated with the FBI Academy to study serial offenders and the connection between child abuse, juvenile delinquency, and later violent crime. We discuss her groundbreaking work with the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit, her approach to understanding victims and offenders, some of her most significant cases, and what the future holds for profiling and expert testimony.
