This is devastating. Over a hundred BBC staff have signed a letter declaring they've been forced to do PR for Israel. Just the latest chapter in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time owenjones.news/p/bbc-staff-we…

It's Autism Awareness Month, so let's bust a pretty common myth about autism. "Everyone's a little autistic." No hate if you've ever said this. But if you have, I hope you'll stick around for this. 🙂

'Who owns land is one of our oldest and darkest secrets... so I'm excited that the government have announced plans to open up the Land Registry' Was great to speak with @mrjamesob yesterday about uncovering who owns England: youtube.com/watch?v=gqS5OM… (1hr 25mins in, 11.50-12noon)

Independent experts have now meticulously examined all records in the Lucy Letby case. Their conclusion? No medical evidence of deliberate harm in any of the 17 cases. Instead, the deaths and injuries resulted from natural causes or medical errors, aligning with the findings of UK experts. ➡️ Read parts 14+15 of our special report into the lessons of the Lucy Letby case online: private-eye.co.uk/special-report… MD's latest on the Lucy Letby case, only in the new Private Eye, out now.

For those interested in #YouthCrime/#YouthJustice Even on the face of it such data seems to challenge some of the assumptions and #ZombieConcepts that haunt #criminology when it comes to young people and #offending/#ASB #CriminalJustice
Natasha Porter OBE@NPorter_

This report has, for the first time, got some of this data! Some of this is shocking: 20% of all kids in secure settings come from only SIX SCHOOLS! And 5% come from THE SAME SCHOOL!

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/

Call for abstracts for new @routledgebooks publication! Qualitative researchers often seek out lived experiences to answer research questions and shape narratives. But what about our own – as women, and as researchers? To submit or find out more, email: m.khatwa@ucl.ac.uk.

Criminology Ferret@CrimFerret·
This thread demonstrates why it's important for epistemology & qualitative methods to be taught in grad school. It also highlights how senior scholars can act as gatekeepers and denigrate critical & qualitative scholarship. The doubling down makes it even more cringe.
Justin T. Pickett@JustinTPickett

(1/2) We need more attention to selection bias in qualitative research. A new study in a top sociology journal examines "how young people experience policing," but it draws only on interviews of youth in an organization devoted to abolishing the police, one that bombards...

More than 1,000 signatures and counting chng.it/qyGbdptPqb Each week, sick pensioners, hospital patients, and people with cancer, dementia, mental health struggles and learning difficulties are convicted of crimes when they shouldn't be. Change can't come fast enough

This risks shifting #PrisonEducation from learning to some warped use-value (certificated-achievement-as-evidence-of-#rehabilitation). As I argue: crimeandjustice.org.uk/sites/crimeand… and @VirtuallyRoss + I argue here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… That can be counter-productive! #CrimJustice
Prisoners' Education Trust@PrisonersEd

It's good to see that ministers are considering earned early release from prison for participating in education. But there is no point incentivising people to participate in activities that are not available. The priority must be investment. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
