EU COST Action CA18228, 'Global Atrocity Justice Constellations' has just published a second round of data from its scoping survey on states and international criminal justice.
https://justice-360.com/scoping-survey/
The survey asks local experts for information on law, policy, institutions, civil society and culture relating to states and international crimes.
There is data on 23 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.
And a follow-up article about the mislabeling of Hispanic drivers to skew statistics away from racial profiling and state manipulation of the study's methods. #Criminology

[And as to the headline more generally, if someone was wrongly convicted, then by definition they are not a murderer.]
Here's a thought - kylr as a solution to over population 🤔
(sarcasm - I know that over pop. is a fallacy)
"A study ... found that fatal overdoses doubled in the week after an opioid seizure within about 500 meters of where the seizure occurred. Researchers have theorized that drug users who are suddenly cut off from their normal supply will go into withdrawal and their tolerance level will decrease — putting them at higher risk of overdose when they find a new supplier, often a stranger selling drugs with an unknown potency." /1

Why The Holocaust Still Matters Today - Holocaust Museum Houston
A short but very helpful piece on the enduring importance of the Holocaust in thinking about and teaching atrocity.
Each genocide is unique, but they still share common features.
https://hmh.org/education/why-holocaust-still-matters-today/
That case in Toowoomba has made me wonder about criminals who repeatedly commit crimes.
I don't really want to research this topic, it is too depressing, but....
I suppose that each time a criminal commits an unpunished crime, their behaviour is reinforced, and the interval between crimes reduces (or stays constant?).
Does charging a serial offender with one of their crimes inhibit their behaviour? Do they restrain themselves while the judicial process goes on? Does the interval between crimes decrease? If they are found not guilty, does their offending bounce back vigorously, or does it only slowly recover its previous tempo?
I am also reminded of #robodebt, where corporate crimes were repeated and repeated, even mechanised to increase the tempo, until the judiciary stepped up. Now that the royal commission has gone, presumably DSS, Centrelink et al are back to offending? What is their tempo? OR are they still waiting for charges to be laid?
Any #criminology people out there?

#DidYouKnow:In #Criminology, the #Broken #Windows #Theory states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.
The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes such as vandalism, loitering, public drinking, jaywalking, and fare evasion help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness.

'Which Are the Main Characteristics Determining Sentence Severity? An Empirical Exploration of Shoplifting Offences Using Spike-and-Slab Models'
It seems that magistrates in England and Wales focus more on offender than offence characteristics when sentencing shop-lifters, which questions the view of proportionality as the bedrock of the sentencing regime in England and Wales.

“The appetite for punishment, in a culture that is fueled by fear and anger, is infinite. We have 2.3 million people in our jails and prisons. A healthy society doesn’t take pride in the fact that it has the highest incarceration rate in the world. That’s a mark of failure. Unless you believe Americans are just less capable, less civilized, less decent, less human than every other country on the planet.” - #BryanStevenson

I just submitted one of the two assignments I have outstanding from last year.
It's a critical analysis of "Women with Disability and Domestic and Family Violence: A Guide for Policy and Practice".
My lecturer has been incredibly supportive and patient.
My grade was automatically finalised because I had gotten enough marks to pass the subject without handing in the final assignment, and he helped me apply to have the grade reopened. He understands that my goal is for HDs so I can so honours (hopefully first class honours) and that I'd really like to graduate with the university medal.
Most of the time I get people telling me that I should just settle and just concentrate on passing, especially because of being a disabled student.. it's nice to have a lecturer who gets it.
I have another to submit in 3 weeks - it's an assessment of the media coverage of Kumanjayi Walker's murder.

I was invited by a local county judge to present my caregiver perspective at a regular monthly meeting of the Behavioral Health and Criminal Justice Advisory Committee of Travis County, Texas. The group's goal is reducing the entanglement of persons with mental illness in the criminal justice system. My wife joined me in presenting, yesterday, and we both thought it went great! We spoke about our personal experiences as parents and caregivers for an adult living with schizophrenia and shared data from author Seth Stoughton, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), and the CAHOOTS program in support of improving the response to those in crisis. The committee members were engaged and we received enthusiastic applause at the end of our presentation. I hope we made a lasting difference. Our five wrap-up suggestions:
1. Reduce the contact persons with serious mental illness have with the justice system:
a. Certified Peer Support Specialists could be hired to conduct frequent telehealth wellness checks and paid a stipend by the minute for the time they spend on their cell phones with clients.
b. Caregivers could benefit from de-escalation training and access to help from outside the justice system, perhaps from a network of family and friends who undergo training to become Certified Family Peer Specialists.
2. Pledge that first-responders will acquire skills for an unarmed response to those without a gun. A mutual “no guns” agreement would require that no gun is available to a person with serious mental illness for there to be a private response. This would increase the safety of all stakeholders. Such a program is one that caregivers could get excited about.
3. Minimize coercion by making hospitality a leading feature of the diversion center. Make it a “living room” where persons want to go for help. Make it a place all stakeholders will encourage persons with mental illnesses to go for help. We don’t want any stakeholders to discourage use of the diversion center.
4. For those who hesitate to accept treatment, offer financial incentives for psychotic and homeless persons to try a long-acting injectable antipsychotic, like the incentives offered to blood plasma donors and in clinical trials of new medications—if they are competent to reject treatment, they are competent to accept treatment with an incentive.
5. Don’t forget the <1% with unstable psychotic disorders who have lost reality contact and are homeless. Unless they are already known to be non-responders to prior treatment, consider a brief involuntary commitment at a facility separate from the diversion center and with the approval of collaborating judges and physicians. Develop new ways to improve the lives of treatment non-responders.

This sounds amazing! I'm trying to convince my uni library to buy copies, and trying to fund a copy for myself.

📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚
"Abolish Criminology presents critical scholarship on criminology and criminal justice ideologies and practices, alongside emerging freedom-driven visions and practices for new world formations.
The book introduces readers to a detailed history and analysis of crime as a concept and its colonizing trajectories into existence and enforcement. These significant contexts buried within peculiar academic histories and classroom practices are often overlooked or unknown outside academic and public discussions, causing the impact of racializing-gendering-sexualizing histories to extend and grow through criminology’s creation of crime, extending how the concept is weaponized and enforced through the criminal legal system. It offers written, visual, and poetic teachings from the perspectives of students, professors, imprisoned and formerly imprisoned persons, and artists. This allows readers to engage in multi-sensory, inter-disciplinary, and multi-perspective teachings on criminology’s often discussed but seldom interrogated mythologies on violence and danger, and their wide-reaching enforcements through the criminal legal system’s research, theories, agencies, and dominant cultures.
Abolish Criminology serves the needs of undergraduate and graduate students and educators in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. It will also appeal to scholars, researchers, policy makers, activists, community organizers, social movement builders, and various reading groups in the general public who are grappling with increased critical public discourse on policing and criminal legal reform or abolition."

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'...
This #BBC #Panorama episode is an excellent deep-dive into the recent Lucy Letby murder trial and the guilty verdict:

The fact a neonatal nurse has become the UK's most prolific child murderer is depressing enough, but the facts emerging from the case about how poorly concerns from consultants were handled is quite shocking too.

Can anyone share any examples of speculative/SF stories or novels that deal with criminal justice systems? I’m collecting them to maybe write an article #CriminalJustice #Criminology #sff #ScienceFiction
Continuing my expansion of my #bio and #introduction - I'm a #CriticalCriminology #student - police and prison #abolitionist.
I'm currently doing a bachelors and am hoping to go on to do #post-grad studies and work in #research and #teaching. I'd love to get involved in research and writing about #abolition.
Critical #criminology basically means that the focus is on the power structures that exist, how they can contribute to crime and what their responses to crime and justice are.
I believe that police and prisons need to be abolished completely. Interestingly, US criminologists in the 70s thought that crime rates were dropping so quickly that we'd be shutting down prisons over the next 20 years, and that by 2000-ish we wouldn't need prisons anymore - then the private prison industry showed how locking people in cages could make a LOT of money, and the prison populations skyrocketed.
Locking people in cages is inhumane. It doesn't work to deter crime, it doesn't solve crime. To quote Angela Davis - Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings.
We need to focus on creating a world where we stop disappearing people and start fostering connection with each other.
If you're interested in abolition, some amazing books by Angela Davis are:
- Are Prisons Obselete?
- Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement
- Abolition. Feminism. Now.

As I've just moved server, time for a (re)introduction
I teach and research in the criminology of atrocity, global crime and in the area of policing and democracy.
My interests are in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the wider Yugosphere.
I mostly toot in English, rarely in Turkish, and on special occasions in B/H/S. I'll boost in any language where I think I've understood.

Hello!
I'm new here - a recent convert from twitter where I spent years building a community to share ideas with. I'd love to connect with others from #law #academia #legaltheory #criminology #sociology #criminaljustice #highered #higheredtech #pedagogy #socialjustice
Hello! You can call me mystic or resilient. I slowly migrated from #Twitter as of today but I will still be active on Twitter. I'll just have both accounts and go back & forth from each platform. I use my socials as an anonymous outlet & for support because support is not available or there in my personal life. I mask 24/7 and people who think they may know me, do not know me at all.
I'm extremely introverted. People think I'm extroverted but I'm really not. I'm socially awkward and it's painfully excruciating to even make eye contact. It feels like my eyes are drilling into someone else's soul if that even makes sense. I'm also very random. I can be hyper at times.
Anyways, I was diagnosed in my early 20's with #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder, #Anxiety, #Depression, & #CPTSD. I'm still waiting to get assessed for #ADHD and I'm slowly embracing my neurodivergency. I had no idea what being #Neurodivergent was until recently and I started reading and following a bunch of other Neurodivergent users.
I've never really felt accepted anywhere but in the neurodivergent community and it feels like family to me. It feels like I belong.
While growing up, I have had doctors tell me that i have #OppositionalDefiantDisorder and #SensoryProcessingDisorder - There has never actually been a diagnosis. There should have been. Professionals do not really take me seriously. It's because I'm able to mask and function normally. But people don't see how easily frustrated I can get. It's there. So is the anger. It's just hidden.

An introduction:
Hi, I'm Sarah. I live in London and am a parent to a nearly 4-year-old. I am autistic, ADHDer and have bipolar ii. I'm a systems and project manager in HE. I'm also an Open University student, completing a UG in criminology and law.
When I am not ridiculously busy I enjoy anything to do with food, photography, gaming (mostly The Long Dark ATM), Doctor Who and Taylor Swift.

I'm Donna! I'm an academic who is part archaeologist, part criminologist, and part dinosaur lawyer. I study crime related to #art, antiquities, #heritage, #fossils. Smuggling, forgery, heists, you name it. A lot of T. rex lately.
I live in the #Netherlands. I work at #Maastricht University.
I blog at: https://www.anonymousswisscollector.com/
My project websites are https://traffickingculture.org/ and https://traffickingtransformations.org/ #archaeology #criminology #artcrime

Now that Halloween festivities are over… an #introduction post!
I am an #ethnographer who works across #STS critical #criminology #law + #sociology of #knowledge. I study relationships between #technoscience and #regulation with a focus on understanding intersecting #inequities that affect #health, #safety + #wellbeing. Current projects are on digital ID, pandemic shifts in tech #surveillance + the politics of #gender inclusion.
Ma bibliographie sur #HAL est désormais complète et comprend deux chapitres d'ouvrage en anglais, un en français, et quatre petits articles dans une revue en ligne qui avaient été omis.
Dans les prochains jours je rectifierai des erreurs mineures et j'ajouterai le texte de chaque article en accès libre.
