Article Out! Exploring psychological and relational challenges to desistance from gang crime. Interviews with incarcerated youths and staff highlight how internalized disbelief of current options and safe/meaningful futures permeates the narrative among staff, youths and society at large.

Let us (the #British) be honest. If your major #politics proposal involves the mass deportation of 'others' on the basis of cultural cohesion... you're trying to legitimate a form of ethnic cleansing! In a moral society that immoral shit should get you banished from a political life! #UKPolitics

New! Anna Anderson on Medical Debt Behind Bars Incarcerated people have a constitutional right to care but often lack access to insurance and must bear the costs (and debt) of copays, fees, medications, emergency charges, and ambulance & hospital bills. inquest.org/medical-debt...

Medical Debt Behind Bars - Anna Anderson - Inquest
Incarcerated people accrue debt for nearly all of their medical care. This makes a mockery of their right to health care—and saddles them with devastating debt upon release.

This is such a profoundly bad move by the #EuroCrim2025 organisers/Board. Bad for #criminology in Europe. It undermines work that has been done under its auspices. People should ask for a return of their conference/membership fees. I hope @britsoccrim.bsky.social is paying attention. #ESC2025

Norway’s parliamentary elections are coming up. As in many other European countries, the right is focusing on immigration and crime. But Norway remains a remarkably prosperous, diverse, and safe society. Rarely have the right’s talking points seemed more unreal.
