Lecturer in Criminolgy and Forensic Psycology DESK

Every crime tells a story. But not every story ends with justice.

Behind every closed case and every cold file lies a question we can’t quite let go of — how did they get away with it?

In this series, we’ll uncover the truth behind the world’s most baffling crimes — where evidence was missed, witnesses were silenced, and the guilty walked free. We’ll explore the psychology of deception, the flaws in forensic science, and the fragile line between guilt and innocence. Because when the system breaks, it’s not just the victims who suffer — it’s our faith in justice itself.

So join me, Dr. Friday, as we go beyond the headlines… and into the minds of those who got away with murder.

I’m Dr. Friday — and this is Killer Mistakes.

Every killer thinks they’ve planned the perfect crime.
But somewhere — in a moment of panic, arrogance, or pure bad luck — they slip.

A wrong turn. A misplaced item. A single word said to the wrong person. And suddenly, the whole plan begins to unravel. In this series, we uncover the fatal errors that expose murderers — the tiny cracks in their stories that open up entire investigations. From forensics and psychology to old-fashioned detective instinct, we’ll see how even the most cunning killers are brought down… by their own mistakes.

Because in the end, it’s never just about what they did — it’s about what they did wrong.

I’m Dr. Friday, and this is Serial Killers: Behind the Prison Gates.

We know their names and the crimes that shocked the world, but few have seen what happens after the headlines fade. Behind high walls and locked doors, the world’s most notorious killers live out their days — isolated, studied, and often unrepentant. Inside the prison system, their true selves are revealed: the psychology, the power games, and the chilling calm of those who have taken life repeatedly. In this series, we step inside these prisons, exploring the minds of killers, the people who guard and study them, and the dark truths that emerge. We confront the questions few dare to ask: can evil ever be understood, and what really happens behind the prison gates?

This Halloween, join us for STAGE FRIGHT, a chilling journey into the films inspired by real-life killers. From the shadows of true crime to the silver screen, we explore how some of the most infamous crimes have shaped horror cinema, blurring the line between fact and fiction. Discover the stories behind the stories, the dark events that inspired unforgettable villains, and the terrifying ways reality can influence imagination. STAGE FRIGHT isn’t just about scares — it’s about understanding the twisted roots of horror that haunt both our screens and our minds.

MISTLETOE & CRIME is a Christmas special like no other, mixing murder with merriment in a macabrely festive evening that unwraps horrific crimes committed during what should be the most wonderful time of the year. You were warned!

Every show draws on Ross’s work in forensic psychology, both as a lecturer and a researcher — but don’t expect an academic lecture. These performances have been described as “tension-filled and compelling”. They’re designed to shock, provoke, and entertain — bringing this dangerous world vividly to life on stage.

You’ll learn a lot about serial killers. And maybe even a little about yourself.
