What happens when a legal scholar rides shotgun with police—and builds trust with sex workers—on the streets of Johannesburg?

Professor India Thusi spent nearly two years embedded in both worlds. The result? A radical inside look at how policing really works—and why the criminalisation of sex work does more harm than good.

In this episode, she shares the story of being detained during her research, the power dynamics it exposed, and what her journey from Yonkers to Johannesburg taught her about justice, race, and reform.

If you care about policing, power, or what it means to build safety in society—this conversation will shift something in you.
