My brilliant colleagues' recent funding successes have opened up 2 fixed term positions in our criminology team at @edinburghnapier.bsky.social; if you are an early career researcher, or you are finishing up/just out of a PhD, we would love to hear from you.

Great piece here by colleague @kevindonovan.bsky.social on a new politics of rivers:

Scotland’s distinctive criminal justice system is nicely summarised in the first chapter (free to read) of James Buchan, Sarah Anderson and Katrina Morrisons new book *Criminal Justice in Scotland* s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-store-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/978100337288...

Great to see this article just out in the British Journal of Criminology by my PhD student Rikki Wolkind - 'Penal Policy on Families of Imprisoned People—An Impossible Situation?' doi.org/10.1093/bjc/...

The first 20-25min of this committee hearing are worth watching in full: www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/educ...

Incredibly proud of this new podcast with @robbiejourno.bsky.social and the Big Light. Young people are demonised on the street but what happens if we look through the stereotype and listen instead?
