How to Feel More Empathy (With the Host of Bad Women: The Ripper Retold)

When bad things happen to people - illness, accident or crime -
our brains fool us into believing the victims must have done
something to deserve their fate. This deep-seated bias is wrong
though - and we should try to show more empathy for our own
wellbeing.


Dr Laurie Santos talks to historian Hallie Rubenhold about her
research into the lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper in
Victorian London - and why even today people aren't more
sympathetic towards them.
