Jakub and I have been having fun this term with the Sentencing forum. Today’s last instalment with Irene van Oorshot and Cyrus Tata will carry us over to the end of summer. And we’ll appropriately be speaking about shadowing, though in a non-shady way. Join us!

How many breakthroughs never happened because half the population was locked out of the lab, courtroom, or clinic? Intl Day of Women & Girls in Science reminds us that progress happens faster & smarter when we recognise talent & ideas for what they are - not who they come from. Make room for her!

The journal holds a unique place as the primary source for criminology in Slovenia and beyond; it adheres to rigorous peer-review, shows unparalleled dedication to open access, and is included in the big academic databases. I had the privilege of contributing to two articles in this special issue!

Last week's #ASC Conference in San Francisco (my first) was an exercise in perseverance (jetlag is no joke) and a curious observational effort. Criminology there is same as in Europe, but not quite. Sentencing is similar, but not really. The debates sound familiar, but off. A parallel world of sorts
