Today staff at Northumbria University begin 10 days of strike action to protest against indefinite pay freezes, an attack on our pensions, and removal from national bargaining. Please show your support any way you can, and of course..... (digital or otherwise)

Given the well deserved attention to image-based abuse and AI in this week's news, it seems like a prudent time to share that the Women's Online Wellbeing (WOW) project @wow-eu.bsky.social website is now live! www.womensonlinewellbeing.co.uk

I, like many other, employees of @northumbriauni.bsky.social am shocked and horrified by plans to freeze pay and force staff to move from TPS to USS. I have done the math and moving to USS would cut my pension in half! Now is the time to join @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social, and write your MP/MSP

Well done Canada!! Keep it up!

Slightly overshadowed but major news from Scottish Parliament today! Huge congratulations to Miss M and @rapecrisisscot.bsky.social in what will hopefully lead to improvements for survivors in Scotland www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Wonder if the Israeli Society of Criminology will be responding? Given their recent (deplorable) statement regarding #Eurocrim2025 #ESC #FreePalestine www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Yesterday Panteion University of Social and Political Science withdrew its patronage from the Eurocrim2025 conference in Athens #eurocrim #criminology #crimsky via @brunildapali.bsky.social www.panteion.gr/wp-content/u...

Important information for anyone attending the European Society of Criminology in Athens and for members of ESC. Petition outlines serious concerns. Consider what you can do to support 👇👇 👇#eurocrim

So where is all the #Eurocrim2025 #ESC #Eurorim chat on Bluesky? What are people's thoughts? After seeing Panteion has pulled out surely the ESC needs to act? #FreePalestine

So, I've recently taken over as Lead for the BSC Victims network (exciting times!). If you're a BSC member and interested in all things victims and victimology, please do sign up to our JISC mail at [email protected] #BSC #Victims #Survivors #Victimology #Criminology

A little shameless self promotion! bit.ly/43Y0RZf

If we're going on cultural impact, sure Handmaid's Tale deserves #1. But as far as a good read, I think it's criminal that Oryx and Crake is at #9 (and behind hagseed, my least favourite) and the Blind Assasin should be #1. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Super relevant episode this week exploring how to engage with men/buys who've been influenced by the manosphere. And Jersey Shore, of course 😄

And.... a loud thank f*ck this morning! #Canada

Pleased to say that I've voted for @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social in today's election. Admittedly my first vote in a Canadian election since I left nearly 20 years ago. That's how much this one matters.

Devastated to see this happen in the old hood. #EastVan is a glorious mix of cultures and people. 💔

Great discussion on #BBCWorld about Canadian politics, and currently addressing #VAWG and #femicide. Canada sees similar stats as the UK - 1 in 3 women will face sexual violence in their lives. Hoping I get my ballot in time!

Excited to announce the 3rd run of our PhD conference for doctoral students researching in areas of criminology and criminal justice! We welcome submissions from PhDs at any stage of their degree, from the UK and abroad.

So far this week I've received three calls for abstracts for the most amazing sounding special issues/books. Wishing I had time to respond to them all!

Disappointing but not surprising www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I've just received January's bulletin from @BritSocCrim. Anyone else concerned that, given recent events, we are still using and encouraging folk to use X? #criminology

Ok bluesky, while I wait to hear back from marketing, what sites/software are people using to create project logos/branding?

Thought I'd share this recent article here as obviously no one saw it on Twitter/X - #WhyIDidntReport: Exploring victim accounts of non-reporting journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Hello Bluesky! New here, any other starter packs for criminology, victimology, vawg, etc that I should follow?
