In an attempt to have more confidence in the things I produce, I'm going to try to show more of the things I produce. I love photography, but rarely show the photos I take. So here's a photo I took recently on holiday, one that I'm actually really proud of.

I'm looking for some literature and struggling to know where to start!
I want to find literature that talks about who gets to decide how success and effectiveness are defined in policing, poss links to police discretion.
Thank you in advance!

Using the 'text-to-speech' function to proofread my PhD thesis is a great idea, and really helps me spot all the tiny grammar errors. It does, however, mean that even before submitting my PhD, I'd have heard every word I wrote, and that's not so fun!

Let's also not forget that these decisions made by human oversight, especially in policing, are often made influenced by institutional racism, sexism, etc. While it might be increase surveillance for all, it's impact is far from proportional
