Good looks like not doing ill-thought out interventions for the sake of being able to say you are 'doing something'. In this case, enhancing the appeal, accessibility and quality of voluntary drug treatment, rather than waiting for people to get arrested. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My colleagues and I observe “a mounting tendency to rely on poorly evidenced and cosmetic interventions to address problems that are caused by deeper and more enduring social structures and practices”

#Interventionitis is "the tendency of policymakers to treat enduring, systemically generated problems with limited interventions that are insufficient or inappropriate for the intended improvement". Have you come across this in your work?

Now out in Critical Criminology. #Interventionitis in the Criminal Justice System: Three English Cases. By myself, @profalexstevens.bluesky.social, @lbilli91.bsky.social & Keir Irwin-Rogers

Got to love some Bob Mould magic 💪👌🏻
