Hello everyone! I want to make my first post on "X" an important one: Check out the latest issue of @JofTrustRes, the central hub for all research on trust. Trust me, it's a treat : )

At last, @Palgrave Handbook of Prison Design is published! A pleasure to edit alongside @YvonneJewkes @kwanbh and @VJStJohn, to bring together work from amazing contributing authors, including academics, practitioners, architects and incarcerated persons. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Original quote from: twitter.com/june4forum/sta…

“To othered scholars, please continue to document your stories. Given the limitations of other types of data on the lived experiences of othered scholars, these narratives may provide the only source of enlightenment for some time to come" In short: “Talk Back.” Thx @Laurenmoton

For we who study/teach/advocate/carry out justice: Housing is justice. Our “social contract” says if I follow the rules (limit my freedom, pay my "debts"), I get basic security. Housing insecurity is a breach of that contract. Society, we’ve got work to do.

@DrJWilliams4 @mbmitchelljr Thanks, @mbmitchelljr, for standing against panicked and rushed resort to "good guys with guns." Schools should be safe/secure but GGGs may be the least effective response to root causes of insecurity. Here's a companion voice in this stand @VJStJohn. childtrends.org/publications/t…

Go 'head Dr. Mitchell (@mbmitchelljr). What an insightful piece. #PublicCriminology . . N.J. criminologist: We don’t need more cops in schools | Opinion nj.com/opinion/2022/0…

“Exclusive criminology is unjust to the marginalized because it robs them of recognition, access, and participation, but it is additionally unjust to us all because it robs us of comprehensive, valid, and reliable knowledge.”

“Succinctly, inclusive criminologists argue that societies have a right to valid and reliable knowledge and that this is impossible if essential elements of knowledge are excluded or silenced.”

“On Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice.” Yesterday and today, I recommit to advance a fuller/truer worldview, without arbitrary exclusions/irrational -isms. Black experience = human experience, equally rich with insights for us all.

@heathbrown, yet another example of your work in cultivating others. Media Fellows: from an idea in your head >> a priority in my work >> doctoral fellows with stipends >> powerful reminder that housing is human right. Thank you @Jay_Boriken.

@VanCarlito2003 @ASUCrimJustice Thanks so much! Looking forward to this adventure.

This week I made a pretty exciting transition: I officially joined the @ASUCrimJustice family as its newest CJ faculty. It's been a while, Twitter, but excited to come back with this news! More to come 😁

@Kristalsclear @ASUCrimJustice Thank you! Definitely appreciate the encouragement.

@kwanbh @ASUCrimJustice Congrats!

@drkamaraloading @ASUCrimJustice Thank you!
