Another excellent @europeangroup.bsky.social conference this year in Malmö: programme packed with critical and radical voices and clear commitment in support of Palestine. Grateful for the kind and attentive audience listening to my and @dinesson.bsky.social's paper on zemiology of counterterrorism

It was such an incredible pleasure to see you all at the Group’s conference in Malmö. A true abolitionist earthquake, a space to flourish, think, organise, conspire and act against the global punitive culture! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Les autorités de l’ESC on refusé jusqu’à un vote sur la question. Il n’y a pas de neutralité face à un génocide.

"The mass peaceful demonstrations they have organised over recent weeks are protected by international human rights law – & to think they run the risk of being imprisoned for up to 14 years is a terrifying example of the UK authorities’ willingness to use authoritarian practices to silence dissent"

“The family see police legal action as a pathetic attempt to derail the Sheku Bayoh inquiry. For over a decade Sheku has been smeared, stereotyped & crim­in­alised in order to negate his right to life, but history will be on the side of Sheku." - Aamer Anwar, lawyer to Sheku's family

The High Pay Centre’s annual review of CEO pay in the FTSE 100 shows median CEO pay jumping from £4.29m to £4.58m in 2024/2025. Nice work if you can get it highpaycentre.org/ceo-pay-in-t...

After the board denied the set up of a working group on digital criminology because they consider it too similar to cybercrime, they now respond in a very defensive and concerning way to the request to have a democratic vote on motion below. I think it’s time for some self-reflection within the ESC.

The state is determined to follow through on prosecuting people for showing support for the proscribed group Palestine Action. Sixty-four people were formally notified of charges today and are due to appear in court in October.

Why is @bbcnews platforming #Farage again?

If you haven’t signed, please do. Shame on #eurocrim Great to hear from folk who are attending as to how they plan to force this issue on the organisers

A very distressing C4 report tonight on pregnant women prisoners being handcuffed during childbirth, despite it being against MoJ policy. Those policies aren’t worth the paper they’re written on — the only way to keep pregnant women safe is to stop sending them to prison.

ESC colleagues: petition & important vote at the General Assembly. If not boycotting, vote. Or a 3rd option: use presentation time to discuss complicity and promote attendance at the GE? I'm scheduled to present on asylum seekers & everyday resistance. It would be unethical if I didn't resist too

Nice one Amy, spot on

... and if you still intend to attend, get behind the motion to be discussed and voted on at the General Assembly of the 25th Eurocrim Annual Conference, on 05.09.2025 at 13:00 criminologists4palestine.wordpress.com

Nearly a year after Keir Starmer promised it, the Hillsborough Law is yet to be introduced. Families deserve honesty and accountability. Can you join me today and sign the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ke...

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested. If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC. That's sensible, proportionate policing.

Yes you might have written a 4* article, but I've been at my new uni for precisely three weeks and already got them to repair/replace two automatic doors and fix the accessible bathroom in my corridor. I can count that as impact right?

It seems like only yesterday that vandalism with paint was considered a terrorism offence
