Medea vs Nate Jacobs

Two villains, one criminological theory: Feminist criminology. We compare Medea and Nate Jacobs: their profile, how dangerous they are, and where they meet and part.

Medea and Nate Jacobs share neither a film nor a universe, but they share something deeper: the same criminological theory explains them, Feminist criminology. That makes their face-off more than a “who would win?”: it is the same mechanism of crime taking two different shapes. The biggest gap is in intelligence: Medea beats Nate Jacobs by 20 points.

// The verdict

On paper, the more dangerous one is Medea, with a danger index of 87/100 against 80. But paper isn’t everything.

The index weighs violence, manipulation and intelligence, and subtracts empathy (the colder, the more dangerous). It is a reading for debate, not a sentence: the theory matters more than the score.
