It鈥檚 the Bad People finale. In this last ever episode, Julia and Sofie dig into the ethics of the media covering criminal cases.

After a press 鈥渃ampaign of vilification鈥�, all charges against Christopher Jefferies were dismissed. The tabloids had incorrectly painted him as Joanna Yeates鈥� killer. Mr Jefferies took the newspapers responsible to court - and won. He then gave evidence during the Leveson Inquiry, the UK鈥檚 landmark investigation into wrongdoing and alleged corruption within the media.

In this episode of Bad People, criminal psychologist Dr Julia Shaw and comedian Sofie Hagen discuss why many of us think the media is biased against our own views because of 鈥渢he hostile media effect鈥�. They talk about the Leveson inquiry and what makes media coverage of crimes bad -- or good.

At the end, they summarise what they learned from working on Bad People for the past three and a half years.
