In this episode ofThe Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we exploreCreativity and Crime: A Psychological Analysis by A.J. Cropley and David Cropley, which challenges the idea that creativity is always positive. The book examines malevolent creativity—the use of innovation for harmful purposes, from fraud to terrorism.

We dive into the psychology behind criminal creativity, how the same cognitive processes drive both brilliance and deception, and what law enforcement can do to counteract it. Can understanding this paradox help prevent creative misuse? Join us as we explore the fine line between genius and transgression.
