“… Here I Went Through Deportation – Which was also Torture for Me”: Air-Deportations and Liberal Violence in Great Britain - Critical Criminology This article contributes to understanding violence in deportation. Drawing on data from eight months of fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2017 and interviews with asylum seekers and practitioners, ...

@monish.bsky.social published an article on air-deportations and liberal violence in the UK in Critical Criminology

Home Office 'squandered billions' on asylum accommodation, MPs say "Flawed contracts" and "incompetent delivery" left the department unable to cope with demand for asylum accommodation, a report by MPs suggests.

Costs of asylum accomodation are down to firms making vast profits off of providing poor quality for people seeking safety and Home Office cruelty and ineptitude. It is not the fault of those forced into using them by a system which doesn't give them a choice. #r4today

I have joined as a series editor for the Palgrave Studies in Race, Ethnicity, Indigeneity and Criminal Justice. More details here: link.springer.com/series/15777

Feel free to get in touch via email to discuss your ideas and/or if you are thinking of putting in a proposal.

Is Britain far right? Do most people in Britain really sympathise with far-right views? As Reform UK rises in the polls, we asked the experts.

The issue is not whether 'Britain is far right' but why far-right politics have become so normalised

Rather than accepting this is a bottom-up, people-driven push, I argue that we must look at those who have the power to shape the agenda and public discourse

Thanks to the organizers of the British Society of Criminology Midland group Symposia on politics, harm and justice for inviting me to speak about war and punitive emotions, as keynote speaker. A sad reminder of the centrality of war in criminology in these dark times.

It's criminal justice/crimmigration day in my 2nd year UG understanding 'race' & migration module. Thinking back to a year ago when lucky students had @monish.bsky.social deliver the lecture in person 🙌. Many were deeply affected & chose this topic for their final reflexive learning assessment.

🙏

🔥Another vital contribution from @monish.bsky.social shining a light on the violence of 'everyday' detention practices and deportability on women. Not sure I'm exactly 'looking forward' to reading, more approaching with trepidation, but appreciation for this important work. #TheseWallsMustFall
