‘Save Us’: Death, Destruction & Despair In J&K Border Villages, As India-Pakistan Conflict Deepens
Following India's strike on terrorist positions within Pakistan, two weeks after a terrorist attack in Kashmir killed 26, Pakistan responded by shelling along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. Residents of border villages faced the deadliest repercussions, with at least 16 dead and 59 injured, many homeless or living out in the open. Artillery fire escalated during the night of 8 and 9 May, as the conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours intensified.

In this article I explain how colonial/racist ideas of Black criminality are enmeshed into perceptions of risk of young Black men in the contemporary #prison

However, this is not just about racialised #Rehabilitation, but it extends to officer threat analysis too

Coming Tuesday, December 3, 2024, the Modern Criminal Law Review's inaugural issue:

Reconstructing Criminal Law Revisited (Nicola Lacey, guest editor)

Is there still space for a scholarship focused on critique oriented to reconstruction rather than abolition?

In our annual criminology lecture, Paula Harriott, Chief Executive of Unlock, gave a thought provoking lecture on “Lived Experience as Expertise” and how the knowledges of those with experience of the criminal justice and prison system can shift and change criminological research for the better.

Some of the most powerful artists and art works are found behind prison walls.
The Koestler Exhibition provides the visitor with a glimpse at a wide range of art. Rehabilitation comes in many forms; never underestimate the power of art to transform someone's life.
Go if you can.
"It can be more than black/white"

Visited the always thought-provoking annual Koestler Exhibition at London's Southbank Centre - 200 pieces of art by those in custodial settings 👇

Not telling people what to think, but enabling interesting discussions to arise within visitors. Recommend it.

Reading a book slowly can be a great joy if you do it right. Forget about the Goodreads number goal. Just sink into the story gradually and linger on it for a few weeks.
