Jumping off of our last forensic psych episode on true vs false confessions, we explore how moral panic has infiltrated our country's history from the beginning, and how it rose it's ugly head again in the 80's and 90's. It even lingers today (despite some major research in the right direction) in some legal cases and in politically-fueled phenomena.Cult Liter podcast episodeDevil and the Deep Blue Sea episodeLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lanotsopod  Join our Patreon family!  You can find all of our resources on our website: https://www.la-not-so-confidential.com/   L.A.

It's Dr. Scott's birthday, so why not drop a re-release. This one felt appropriate. This week, the docs delve into the sequence of events that precipitated the tragic and disastrous "Zoot Suit" riots in Los Angeles. Despite the Zoot Suit riots receiving far less attention than deserved in the annals of the civil rights struggle in the United States, they represent a pivotal moment in both Los Angeles and national history. The docs investigate how the media exacerbated tensions by demonizing the Latino community, while also shedding light on the pervasive racism and marginalization perpetuated by industry and law enforcement through opinion pieces.Harvard Implicit Bias TestBerkshire Podcast FestivalYou can find all of our resources on our website: https://www.la-not-so-confidential.com/ L.A.
