The early release scheme for prisoners in England and Wales considers the original sentence and proportion time served. Does not consider risk. Would factoring in risk to release decisions improve public safety/health? 🧵

Excited to share that I have submitted my manuscript to the publisher today. This book is a labour of love dedicated to the experiences and voices of British Turks. Looking forward to bringing these stories to light...

Our new article brings together some new co-authors with very different backgrounds but who share a commitment to careful experimental work, and a belief that progress depends on it. Experimenting in criminology settings has not been a "failure," but instead poorly invested in.

This is what we suggested in our paper published in Policing last year. watermark.silverchair.com/paad079.pdf?to…
