Ask Bad People: What are "bad vibes"?

Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen answer listener questions.

What are the "bad vibes" we think we are picking up on from someone? Situation or environmental factors? Or something we just don’t like about the person? What do we know about the broader effects on communities and cultures local to places of sensational crimes? Does the reputation of a place then feedback into people's behaviour? Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen tackle your questions in this bonus edition of Bad People.

Warning: This episode may contain sensitive topics and some strong language.
