Humans have always committed crimes. What can we learn from the criminals and crimes of the past, and have humans gotten better or worse over time?

Criminalia

In season 5, you can expect to hear about women and men who were accused, usually tortured, and almost always executed for assumed transgressions, such as, say, having a birth mark or being accused of 'black magic', without any facts to back it up in court.

Welcome to Season 5 of Criminalia: Witches and Alchemists
