I finally got around to turning what started as a presentation at ESC in Florence a couple of years ago into an article in CMC! 🥳

Open access, and lots of pictures! (Somehow, the PDF has better photo placements than the online layout)

Important information for anyone attending the European Society of Criminology in Athens and for members of ESC. Petition outlines serious concerns. Consider what you can do to support 👇👇 👇#eurocrim

Amy Cortvriend @amycortvriend.bsky.social · Aug 24

ESC colleagues: petition & important vote at the General Assembly. If not boycotting, vote. Or a 3rd option: use presentation time to discuss complicity and promote attendance at the GE?

I'm scheduled to present on asylum seekers & everyday resistance. It would be unethical if I didn't resist too

Steve Tombs @stevetombs.bsky.social · Aug 24

... and if you still intend to attend, get behind the motion to be discussed and voted on at the General Assembly of the 25th Eurocrim Annual Conference, on 05.09.2025 at 13:00

I won’t be at the ESC this year, but at least it’s fun to be there in print ✨

Tom Sutton @crimepublisher.bsky.social · Aug 29

This is my pile of books to take to the ESC conference in Athens next week. I honestly don't think they will all fit, so apologies in advance.... Looking forward to hitting the road again and talking #criminology with current and future authors and editors.

Was I supposed to be fine with this? ”It’s OK guys I don’t think she’ll notice”. 🤔

Frances Crook är trött på att politiker struntar i forskningen, som enligt henne är glasklar: repression funkar inte för att stävja brott.

Hon är världens bästa kriminolog: ”Sveriges regering gör alla fel”

Polisen måste sluta gripa barn och unga, säger prisade krim-forskaren Frances Crook.

Hey #criminology
Check out the new #SensoryCriminology blog by Chloe Young.

Here she explores some themes to come from her Doctoral study on women and the #NighttimeEconomy

Please read and share.

Nightlife spaces are, to borrow Durkheim’s term, socially and sexually effervescent places. The environment, often loud and electric, offers ‘possibilities of pleasure, excess and gratification” (M…

Publication day! @spookademic.bsky.social and I wrote a book, deep diving into the struggles involved in desistance from crime and - crucially - dealing with concepts of normalcy from a position as outsider.

Desistance, Resistance, and Normalcy

This book provides a nuanced, critical analysis of desistance from crime, particularly through the lens of women’s experiences. It develops desistance theory by interrogating the concept of normalcy, ...

“We are losing sight of the academic mission: to think, to enquire, to design and perform new research…There are many reasons why this has occurred over just a quarter of century but a key contributor has been the corporatization of academic institutions.” 👇👇👇

Colin Murray @colinmurray.bsky.social · Mar 10

As universities engage in more "death spiral" cuts to academia, we need to focus on the intense bureaucratisation of the C21 university.

A wannabe D-VC implements travel management outsourcing, and massive costs ensue. They've moved on before the disaster unfolds:
