Looks interesting! Thanks for sharing.
It’s on my shelf! I loved Michael Sierra-Arevalo’s The Danger Imperative but I still need to read The Policing Machine.
What is the most thought-provoking paper about policing published in the past two years?

It's harder to get funding for basic research projects than ever before in Australia.
The @arc_gov_au Discovery Projects scheme now has the lowest “success rate” ever: 16.3%.
Only 1 in 6 grants are funded.
Why? The funding available has plummeted.
Please help, Jason Clare MP❗️
Congratulations!
Hello Bsky.
I am a researcher in Australia studying the disruptive and transformative impacts of climate change on policing.

We better be careful because with banter of this calibre, we may become Bsky influencers, with all ten active users of the platform looking to us for a steady stream of wit and wisdom. I don't think I'm ready for that much power or responsibility, especially without monetisation opportunities!
Haha. There are quite a few Canberras of Canberra in Canberra to be fair!
Time will tell
Bluesky appears to be the Canberra of social media platforms, but I think I'm OK with that at this point in my life and career. In any case, I look forward to seeing the posts of people I actually follow once again.
