To those who steal from publishers at conferences, please image that you are an author, looking for your book on display. How would you feel if one of your peers had nicked it, denying other delegates the chance to see your work? The books are for sale, usually with a discount. Don’t steal books.

Looking forward to the European Criminology meetings this week in Athens. But first, some essential business to take care of… #eurocrim25 #recordstore #athens

This is my pile of books to take to the ESC conference in Athens next week. I honestly don't think they will all fit, so apologies in advance.... Looking forward to hitting the road again and talking #criminology with current and future authors and editors.

This summer is my 15th anniversary of working in the Criminology arena as an editor. Back in 2010, I was preparing for my first ESC conference in Liege. Fast-forward to today, and I am doing the same for Athens. I was so fresh-faced back then, with so much to learn and to prove.
