📢 We know that the prison system is in crisis – but how do we solve it? We need to talk about sentencing. Today we have published a paper from the most senior former judges in England and Wales, calling on the government to reverse the trend of imposing ever longer sentences.

This risks shifting #PrisonEducation from learning to some warped use-value (certificated-achievement-as-evidence-of-#rehabilitation). As I argue: crimeandjustice.org.uk/sites/crimeand… and Ross Little + I argue here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… That can be counter-productive! #CrimJustice

More than 1,000 signatures and counting chng.it/qyGbdptPqb Each week, sick pensioners, hospital patients, and people with cancer, dementia, mental health struggles and learning difficulties are convicted of crimes when they shouldn't be. Change can't come fast enough

This thread demonstrates why it's important for epistemology & qualitative methods to be taught in grad school. It also highlights how senior scholars can act as gatekeepers and denigrate critical & qualitative scholarship. The doubling down makes it even more cringe.

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/

For those interested in #YouthCrime/#YouthJustice Even on the face of it such data seems to challenge some of the assumptions and #ZombieConcepts that haunt #criminology when it comes to young people and #offending/#ASB #CriminalJustice

It's Autism Awareness Month, so let's bust a pretty common myth about autism. "Everyone's a little autistic." No hate if you've ever said this. But if you have, I hope you'll stick around for this. 🙂
