My review of @melaynakay.bsky.social’s A Philosophical History of Police Power. This book makes important contributions to several bodies of literature, and communicates complex arguments very clearly. Well worth reading! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Creative Australia ditching Khaled Sabsabi as our representative at the Venice Biennale is an extraordinary denial of artistic freedom by our supposedly leading & independent arts advocate. A week ago Sabsabi said he thought the honour "wouldn’t happen because of who I am.” Turns out he was right.

This month I am leaving Birkbeck after 5 years. I’ll be forever grateful to my brilliant colleagues & students, and I’ll miss them. But I’m also buzzing to be joining Monash Criminology/Social Sciences in January. I’ve received a really warm welcome & I’m looking forward to becoming part of the team

ICYMI: compelling new StopWatch report arguing for the repeal of Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act. Section 60 empowers police to conduct ‘suspicionless’ stops and searches. Extra points for a clever title. www.stop-watch.org/news-opinion...

This has been a vital message Netpol has promoted vigorously on the other place: blue bibbed "police liaison officers" at protests are intelligence gatherers, you do not need to speak to them, so don't
An image of three blue bibbed police liaison officers, their backs to the camera, with the words "these officers are gathering intelligence. You are under no obligation to talk to them - so don't"
