@jenniferdoleac.bsky.social giving a keynote at #ARCJC about ev-based ways to reduce re-imprisonment. Electronic monitoring a good alternative to prison but need to be thinking about context it is implemented in. Preaching to the choir here!

Fascinating talk by Jon Corcoran about scaling up Milgrim's 'familiar strangers' concept w/ transit journeys. The 'invisible ties' & 'light touch community' is associated with reduced risk of victimisation. Nice demo of guardianship! Took 8m to run the models 🤯 pandemic has since changed patterns.

The types of exploitation being reported changed: Criminal and sexual exploitation reports increased, while labour exploitation reports dropped—possibly because fewer people were in workplaces to witness it. 3/
