I’m researching autism and the Criminal Justice System, collecting data for my thesis. I believe that autism is widely under-explored in criminology. Therefore, I’m eager to connect with others passionate about fostering compassion and understanding of autism in Criminal Justice System spaces.

We buy books app is pretty good, you just scan the barcodes on the books with your phone camera, box them up and they’ll send a courier to collect. They pay pretty well for academic books so should buy a few LPs for you!
