NEW PAPER exploring the experiences of young magistrates (under 40 years old) in England and Wales. The paper casts young magistrates as 'emotional creatures' and seeks to develop an appreciation of the role of emotions in court settings. https://t.co/PeqNmTyMZo

Thanks to @LBG_research for the invitation to present with @Moretti131 our work on commercial sexual exploitation this week in Vienna. Great to discuss this with other researchers and practitioners across Europe.

[Xavier L'Hoiry @lhoiry]

Pleasure to present ongoing work on commercial sexual exploitation and online platforms at @BehAnalysis2024 conference a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to Philip Baum for the invitation. @BrentfordFC's Gtech stadium was a great venue too!

A pleasure to be in Reykjavik with @Moretti131 last week to present our work on commercial sexual exploitation. Valuable dialogue with practitioners across Europe on the impact and challenges of technology in sex trafficking. Thanks to Svala Ísfeld Ólafsdóttir for the invitation.

NEW PAPER with @DrKarenHarrison and Dr Simone Santorso on body-worn cameras. We take a case study approach to explore police officers' experiences of the introduction of BWCs, with a focus on the unintended consequences which can arise. https://t.co/sqTYzFnSfs

My review of @Moretti131's book on illicit ticket touting in the BJC. Essential reading for criminological ethnographers + anyone interested in how they might score those elusive @taylorswift13 tickets!

@Moretti131 @KuSamf @Rigspoliti @redbarnetdk @JakobDemant Really enjoyed this - great discussion of the implications of 'watch groups' for the future of policing. Thanks to everyone who came along and to @JakobDemant
and @Moretti131 for the invitation. Wonder if I'll ever be able to talk without gesticulating wildly... 🖐️👐

Pleasure and privilege to contribute to my friend and colleague @Moretti131's book launch in Copenhagen last week. A brilliant ethnographic account of illegal ticket touting and the 'craft' of deviant entrepreneurship. Thanks again to @KuSamf and @JakobDemant for the invitation.

[Xavier L'Hoiry @lhoiry]

@TimNewburn @Radio4ta Sure thing!

[Xavier L'Hoiry @lhoiry]

Finally got round to listening to @TimNewburn on @Radio4ta discussing his new book #OrderlyBritain. Thought the point on the formalisation of rule breaking was really interesting and then I see this on my coffee today!

[Xavier L'Hoiry @lhoiry]

Brilliant paper from @danicadarley1 at @TheHowardLeague conference on the value of autoethnography in understanding the social harms of imprisonment.

Searingly honest and hugely insightful presentation. #CJHumanCondition

Pleasure to present findings from my @BritishAcademy_ study on young magistrates at the @TheHowardLeague conference in Oxford today.

The #UCUstrike isn't just about our working conditions, pay and pensions, but the next generation's working conditions, pay and pensions. Anyone who claims to be supporting students and early career researchers should be supporting this strike.
