Check out this update on the wonderful collaboration with Emerald publishing and @katymathers.bsky.social to get a copy of #Sensory #Penalities into every #Prison in England and Wales. So proud we could do this. Thank you Emerald!!: www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/responsible-...

When is a book about #ForensicPsychologists not really about Forensic Psychologists?

When its about the complex matrices of #power within the contemporary #prison

This is the primary focus and contribution of this book: www.emerald.com/insight/publ...
