"Clearly high quality probation work needs resources – the primary one of which is probation officer time to build a trusting relationship. This resource has clearly been missing from the service over recent years as area probation inspection results make only too clear."

New #OpenAccess paper on using the idea of digital ritual to interrogate police use of social media (including those aspects problematic in terms of democratic policing):

Digital Ritual: Police-Public Social Media Encounters and 'Authentic' Interaction

People are talking about how it's too early for there to be a true crime show about Lucy Letby and making comments like "haven't the families suffered enough??"

I saw the same people raving about watching the Jeffrey Dahmer show and how much they loved it, when Tony Hughes family asked over and over for people to not watch that show.

It smacks of the hierarchy of victimhood, and it makes me sad. We need to stop consuming other people's suffering as entertainment. They deserve better.

Ok but it's hard work doing a criminology degree when you gigglefit in response to someone saying 'penal'...

Morning! I’ve been into town to get fresh bread, had breakfast and I’m ready for work. All four of us are WFH today, it’s going to be hard to keep out of each other’s way. More #DataAnalysis for me, I think I’ll work on category of offence and how that correlates with participants’ scoring of satisfaction with different areas of their life #criminology. Oh wait, Miss Cinnamon has just arrived and says that we must have cuddle first :blobcatreach: Have a great day everyone!

BLESS MY BOSS she has found the missing data herself as I was getting nowhere with the person who was supposed to do it, emailed it to me, and texted me to let me know it is available to work on tomorrow. She is the best! #DataAnalysis #Criminology #AcademicChatter #ExcellentManager

Government and Police targeting UK minorities with social media ads despite Facebook ban

Campaigns aimed at people interested in “hijabs”, “Hinduism” and “afro-textured hair” raise concerns over profiling and privacy.

#criminology has always been a racist pseudo science, one could argue the founders of criminology were the first modern fascists. Look em up.

Congratulations, Dr Serdar San!
