Charis Kubrin is a professor of criminology at University of California Irvine whose extensive analysis of rap lyrics has provided the basis for her expert testimony in cases around the U.S. in which an artist\u2019s work has been used against them as criminal evidence. Professor Kubrin joins us to explain what brought her to this subject, the history of \u201crap on trial,\u201d and her ongoing work with the defense bar to push back against this problematic and almost inevitably racist practice.
