'In Defence of Walkability as a Crime Prevention Strategy'.
New preprint with @ianloader.bsky.social
We challenge the consensus that walkable neighbourhoods are more criminogenic.
We highlight two flaws in the literature: i) overreliance on police statistics; and ii) neglect of motoring offences.

A really useful post for #Teaching #CrimSKy, please share

A really useful post for #Teaching #CrimSKy, please share

I'm seeing lots of consideration of how we've designed out the social in communal spaces and thinking about how this all hangs together. In the meantime, particularly useful for #Teaching #Criminology, the impact of designing in Routine Activities for example. Just very much worth a read #CrimSky

Sharing here a recent interview in Black Histories with our own @nasarmeer.bsky.social

At a loose end this afternoon? Grab a cuppa and join us for chats about #Arts, #Music, #Prisons, #MigrantDetention. Really looking forward to a catch up #CrimSky

Join us tomorrow! 2pm. Do share with students who might be interested in combining #Sound, #Music and #Criminology

A reminder about this seminar, taking place tomorrow. If you're around, please do come along, and feel free to let others who might be interested know.

This Thursday, 2pm, join Aine Mangaoang, Lucy Cathcart Froden and I to talk about the meeting places between #Musciology, #SoundStudies and #Criminology as we talk about our new book #Sound and #Detention with the wonderful International Justice Arts Network: teams.microsoft.com/dl/launcher/...

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.”

This screams "Middle Passage" to me.

@kateherrity.bsky.social and I have a forthcoming chapter that links the overlapping coloniality of the Wests naval and carceral projects.

Here's a new article from our own @academicdiary.bsky.social, as well as @michaelacbenson.bsky.social and Maisie Tomlinson, which reflects on how we might teach research methods in ways that help foster a ‘demonstrably alive’ sociological craft.

And yes, I know I'll find your book fascinating and valuable. I made this soundscape artwork with prisoners a few years ago: www.soundcloud.com/listentostev...

Sound and Detention In this book, over 40 contributors collectively tune in to how sound-and its absence-can function as a source of power that enables isolation, control and harm,…

This is so affecting and important. And difficult listening, honestly.

This might also be of interest? We have sound accompanying our book "Sound and Detention" with my wonderful colleagues Aine Mangaoang and Lucy Cathcart Froden. Message me if so and I'll send: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/sound-and...

Thank you so much! I very much hope you enjoy it! I think there's so much unexplored territory for thinking about how we navigate social worlds and make them more equitable, nourishing spaces (or shrink them on the basis they are not).

Calling all #Criminology, anyone planning on #BSC interested in going in on a panel on #Arts and #Music/#Sound in the #CJS? As usual, particularly keen to support #PGRs getting into conferencing. I'll be talking about aspects of "Sound and Detention" or the #Sensory handbook. Deadline in secs tho!

It's alarming how quickly we just design it into our responses and interactions. What does that do? How much more difficult might that make sensitive disclosure, vulnerability? How might that escalate situations? What does it do to people who become accustomed to it? SO many questions!!
