Yesterday I met the team at @RefugeCharity & heard survivors’ share heartbreaking stories. Too many victims of abuse & their children are put at risk in the family courts — a lack of trauma understanding & the presumption of contact is putting lives in danger. This must change.
We are looking for a CJS Director to join our team.
The ideal candidate will be experienced in initiating projects, planning, delegating, managing and mitigating risk.

@ProfessorTwyG@BrunelCrim@Bruneluni Thanks for a lovely day. If only all work days were filled with great company, excuses to celebrate, sushi & theatre trips! 😄😂
Lots of people asking me where I was when Sunak announced the election. I was inside, because it was raining. Only an idiot would have gone out in that... #GeneralElection
Really interesting write up about knowledge equity and research. Reminds me of a recent experience @criminology when an ethics board tried to block my research for being unethical because my consent form gave participants the option to suggest their own pseudonym. 🙄
🤐 ‘Put our names on our research’ – @InsideTimeUK & insideinformation
Interesting discussions ongoing within prison research and @criminology is taking a stand!

This is exhibit A for anyone who ever tells you we should abolish criminology. The blatant lying and scaremongering in this unhinged advert should be the focus of every intro to crim lecture for the next decade, not to mention 100 theses. Utterly desperate and pathetic:
