Maternal Deprivation and Samuel Little

Today's concept comes from the world of attachment theory. Tiggy and James discuss whether maternal deprivation is somewhat outdated and the horrors of a truly intense case. https://www.tutor2u.net/psychology/reference/bowlbys-theory-of-maternal-deprivation?srsltid=AfmBOopWe-6sruPOo4DXiGB_WqaUI-BjWi8in_YvwzL9P_xkZ4hNP9Xb https://www.tutor2u.net/psychology/reference/attachment-romanian-orphan-studies?srsltid=AfmBOop3W-55cyjaW0s9c1uqEzntrCx5ngWhIyDO5l7xVNHXv61YPgVE https://mds.marshall.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1024&context=msjcj https://www.biography.com/crime/samuel-little#early-life https://www.dps.texas.gov/news/new-details-released-unsolved-samuel-little-murders https://www.dps.texas.gov/news/new-details-released-unsolved-samuel-little-murders https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46384197.amp https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/samuel-little-serial-killer/part-two/

fMRI and Brian Dugan

This week's episode has a slightly different concept, in the sense that it is medical. However, researchers in the psychology field have found it super fascinating and are using fMRIs to figure out all sorts of questions surrounding the brain. We relate fMRIs to the strange case of Brian Dugan, who was the first to use this type of scan in a criminal case. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/25034-functional-mri-fmri https://www.med.wisc.edu/news/psychopaths-brains-differences-structure-function/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763424003737 https://www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk/divisions/fmrib/what-is-fmri/introduction-to-fmri https://academic.oup.com/scan/article/1/2/158/2362915 https://murderpedia.org/male.D/d/dugan-brian-james.htm https://law.stanford.edu/2009/12/14/neuroscience-and-sentencing-diminished-culpability-and-capacity-for-change/ https://www.science.org/content/article/fmri-evidence-used-murder-sentencing https://www.criminallawlibraryblog.com/fmri_evidence_used_in_murder_sentencing/ https://www.dailyherald.com/20091105/news/strange-mind-of-a-killer-researcher-says-dugan-rare-psychopath/ https://www.steme.org/post/science-behind-psychopathy https://www.nature.com/articles/464340a

Agentic State and The Strip Search Phone Call Scam

Welcome back to another episode of Case By Concept. Today we bring you the psychological concept of agentic state and a case so wild that Tiggy had to double check the whole story wasn't a hoax.

Non-Verbal Leakage and Chris Watts

Hello and welcome to season 4 of Case By Concept! We kick off the season with a very famous case, and the somewhat icky-named concept of non-verbal leakage.

Season 3

Moral Panic and The Mods and Rockers Conflict

In this season finale, Tiggy and James discuss the concept of Moral Panic and the main case that Stanley Cohen based his theory on- the Mods and Rockers conflict.

Sensationalism and the Black Dahlia

This week, Tiggy and James will be talking about a case that James has specifically requested, and Tiggy had to find a concept that could be related to it!
