Come and work with me! I’m looking for a #postdoc specialised in children’s rights and digital #criminology. Please repost & send to anyone who might be interested.
Deadline 9th of May
Since the LNP first introduced the draconian and outrageously dangerous Adult Crime, Adult Time legislation, Sisters Inside have spoken out against its inherent injustice
‘The Queensland Government cannot continue to ignore the fact that this punitive approach will only cause more harm. Evidence from around the world shows that treating children as adults in the criminal legal system increases recriminalisation and perpetuates cycles of violence and disadvantage. These policies are not about public safety—they are about political expediency, fearmongering, and the continued criminalisation of Aboriginal children,’ Debbie Kilroy

I have a paper due for my drugs subject in a few weeks - discuss legislation and policy concerning illicit drug use and control in one international country as a basis for comparison with Australia.
I was going to look at the decriminalisation of drugs in Portugal, because that's super interesting... however..
..however.
"In conclusion, Australia should not follow the example of illicit drug policy and legislation set in the Philippines by Duturte's presidency because:
1. a lot of poor people were murdered in awful ways
2. the ICC will arrest and charge you with crimes against humanity."
When you start plagiarising yourself because you've been ranting on the same shit for years..
I've just noticed that when police post in their social media, they rarely use the word "allegedly".
There was a post from NSW police the other day about a young guy who was caught speeding (200+ km/hr), the cops literally posted a picture of his car in which his licence plate is visible and detailed information about what (allegedly!) happened, but never once used the term alleged/allegedly.
I find it interesting, because I guarantee anyone who talks about the cops doing anything wrong gets absolutely stomped for not using those terms.
I'm fucking disappointed that the Guardian isn't being better than this. I know that mainstream media is always going to be used to push political agenda, but this is just so blatantly obvious with these headlines occurring within a week of each other.
Victoria isn't in a youth crime crisis.
Youth crime happens - and we know the biggest contributor to crime is poverty (something governments can address, but refuse to).
However, funding programs to address poverty and youth crime won't get votes. Scaring voters and then "tough on crime" rhetoric about "tightening bail laws" (which will put Aboriginal people's lives at risk!) gets votes.

Tyler Cawthray, an assistant professor of criminology and criminal justice at Bond University, has charted the similar narrative of a crime crisis engulfing Queensland, where the Liberal National party won government in October after campaigning on an “adult time for adult crime” policy.
Cawthray said across New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, youth crime has generally decreased over the last decade, including during Covid.
Victoria has one of the lowest rates of youth crime in the country, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics data, with only the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia having a rate below it.

oh no.. my lecturer mentioned 'cops in the US who are overdosing on fentanyl by just coming into skin contact with it...'
They aren't. It's a moral panic point that conservative media is trying to push.
We're now talking about how people use drugs.. like the actual mechanism for taking them.
It's surprisingly hard not to just yell BOOFING in the middle of a lecture.
I'm doing a subject this semester on Drugs and Crime. This week's lecture is called "pharmaceuticals and how drugs work".
My lecturer just said "well, I'm a criminologist, I'm not a doctor.. well.. I am a doctor, but I'm not a doc.. oh, you know. I have a doctorate of criminology, not a doctorate of doctoring.."
I'm skipping my lecture today, because I was just prepping my notes and realised that we're discussing "settler colonialism and nation-building" with no mention of neo-colonialism or settler colonialism as an ongoing structure as opposed to a historical event.
...i don't have the bandwidth for that today.
Want to know how to succeed at uni? We have a learning module for that!
Worldwide, young men commit the most violent crimes. How should we deal with them?
In an idyllic Swiss village, young men with histories of often-violent crime are being taught how to behave better.
The alternative to prison is based on the hope that broken people can be changed. It's expensive – but staffers say it is cheaper in the long run.
The De Gruyter Handbook of Digital Criminology edited by Mareile Kaufmann and Heidi Mork Lomell is now published including my chapter on Artificial Intelligence in which I address both the use in criminal justice and policing and how crime is changing as a result of AI

I'm so interested in doing research into why Australian terrorism cases are primarily brought against teenagers.
Ian, Blair & I are excited to share “Institutional formalism & criminal sentencing on the frontier" arguing that sentences became longer & more predictable as institutional formalism & judicial oversight increased in colonial British Columbia 1864–1913

Crime and Punishment in the Future Internet by Sanja Milivojevic, 2021
Crime and Punishment in the Future Internet is an examination of the development and impact of digital frontier technologies (DFTs) such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of things, autonomous mobile robots, and blockchain on offending, crime control, the criminal justice system, and the discipline of criminology.

My uni has just been told it's lost the contract to deliver the policing degree for NSW Police 2025-2036.
Crime without punishment: can a different kind of justice offer something more to sexual assault survivors?
Proponents of restorative justice say it can offer a different type of justice, but is it a soft option for a serious crime? And what does justice mean for victim-survivors?
