Hey #criminology, #sociology, #sensory, #prison #AcademicSky #Crimsky - I'm talking as part of the BSC prisons research network relaunch seminar series on Tuesday 25th, 1pm on "The Senses in Prison: Bridging Research, Policy and Practice". Here's the link: www.eventbrite.com/e/new-direct...
Really pleased to have this article out, open access, in Incarceration:
'You just gotta be careful with your banter': The functions, risks and boundaries of humour on prison wings in England and Ireland

1 Day Event @uniofbath.bsky.social: "Justice Beyond Criminal Justice"
Are you working on justice thinking or processes that sit outside the formal criminal justice system? If so, come & present your ideas Wed 29th Oct *Please share widely*

For those in #Criminology and #CriminalJustice doing work on #CriminalRecords and #CollateralConsequences this is a significant breach.
How, and in what ways, can leaked criminal records be weaponised to target individuals?
Will we even discover the fallout from this given who may be #victmised?
Fixed term teaching post (10 months) in critical criminology in the University of Liverpool's Department of Sociology, Social Policy & Criminology www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMV424/l...
New open access article on #prison
Particularly useful for those doing comparative work. Its not just system factors that matter, you have to consider micro level institutional factors too (i.e. specific prison or even wing location)

#Criminology
Publication day! @spookademic.bsky.social and I wrote a book, deep diving into the struggles involved in desistance from crime and - crucially - dealing with concepts of normalcy from a position as outsider.
Congratulations to you both! Really looking forward to reading this.
Yet another scandal brewing within UK Higher Ed: universities can get research money for everyone they've sacked. Big ghost fleets of lecturers who don't exist will be launched into the next Research Excellence Framework. Unis will laugh and cash in (1/2). englishassociation.ac.uk/ref2029-conc...
Criminology people with interest in experiences of families of people in prison!
I am keen to finally get this idea moving: an edited collection of chapters on stigma. Quite a lot to explore and lots of policy interest. Get in touch and pls share!

Great to have our article, “Police Officer-Involved Domestic Violence: Examining the Unique Risks and Barriers to Safety” now published.

Really proud of this paper!
Please could academic folks bring this to the attention of final yr UGs and MA students in criminology, sociology and pol sci (etc.) please? The PhD studentship is to study the extent of electoral fraud in Britain, working with BMG Research, Dr Siim Trumm and myself.

What a paragraph.
🚨 New journal article ‼️
🛌 When you go to sleep this evening, spare a thought (& a few minutes) about what it’s like to sleep somewhere like prison
Sleep is key factor to health and well-being outcomes, but it is neglected.
This commentary explores solutions

THREAD: It's #prisonersweek in Scotland, so here's a thread on #howprisonsilences people in prison and why that's a problem for rehabilitation and democracy. To make it easy, each silencing mechanism begins with a 'D'.
