Ep. 41 Everyone else did it: Peers and Diffusion of Responsibility with Zach Rowan
Can being part of a group make people feel less responsible for criminal behavior? Does it really make it easier to justify the behavior? Probably, but we weren't sure. That's why this week we talked to Zach Rowan, a professor at Simon Fraser University's School of Criminology. We talk about the group's impact on people taking responsibility for their actions. We briefly touch on the environment's impact on group offending. You can find Zach on Twitter @ZRRowan.
