Today, one week on from Monday’s devastating incident, we remember Elsie, Bebe and Alice. Our thoughts continue to be with the families who have suffered profound loss and the communities affected by this tragedy.

Shocking on many levels - including number formerly viewed as in need of care & protection now locked up in "most violent prison"! Our systems of 'care' & 'justice' need a massive rethink

A thread on #Sound, #Order and #Survival. The book is completely rewritten, though #PhD based. It still charts a year spent in a local men's #prison asking the community (staff and prisoners) about sound, but is the story of a prisons relationship with its city, place and people.
Congratulations to @KateHerrity for winning the @BritSocCrim #BSC2024 book award. What a superstar! Pick up the book from the @BrisUniPress stand for £20 before the end of the day tomorrow!

#BSC2024 felt like a reminder that being together as a community is our best defence against the university antics that continually pushes us to compete for funding, for publications, for jobs.And being a community focused on the problems of injustice feels like a powerful thing
For years to come historians will argue over the significance of the ‘criminological rebound’ that occurred at ⁦@BSC2024Strath⁩ but as they scour the digital records they may miss the crucial catalytic. Fortunately some were smuggled out and across the border.

Who is criminology? @carajardine says that neoliberal universities are not diverse enough, meaning we cant flourish as a discipline. Managerialism, unstoppable pace of demands, everything ranked.

Excited to share NEW findings from my @adr_uk fellowship at @BSC2024Strath this afternoon. @CJJFitzpatrick and I have used @MoJGovUK @educationgovuk data to understand the intersections between care experience, gender and youth justice involvement - a topic close to our hearts.
