Many social problems are blamed on 'fatherlessness'. But if fathers aren't present, where are they? @profatarrant.bsky.social explains how our social structures - such as inadequate housing, jobs, social security & parenting support - are obstructing engaged fatherhood: nowandmen.net/episode/anna...

Government U-turns on plans to ‘name and shame’ people doing unpaid work The Government has abandoned a controversial plan to publish the names and photos of people sentenced to do unpaid work in the community. The proposal would have seen people convicted of minor crim…

@cambcriminology.bsky.social Glad to see you here! I really think we can revitalise the conversation and generate excitement for ideas on this platform, it's just a bit of effort to get #CrimSky going...

Ive just done the same 🤣🤣

The front cover of a report. A white page with black text, reading: "Earned regression? How a flawed approach to punishment risks making the prisons crisis worse". The green Howard League for Penal Reform logo is in the bottom left-hand corner of the page.

NEW: Today we warn that the government’s flagship proposal to address prison overcrowding risks ending in failure.

I really think if we all pull together, we can make bluesky what academic twitter was before they mangled it up? We need to get more proactive though (myself included). Big up early careers and one anothers' students, get excited by new works... #Criminology, we can do this...

Im guilty of this too. I keep forgetting I have an account....
