- Criminologists, our colleague, @JoPhoenix1, is suing her employer, the Open University, for failure to protect her from bullying. She needs your support. This affects everyone working in universities today. Crowdfunder is here crowdjustice.com/case/harassed-…
- Given how carefully these words will have been chosen, it’s quite a sentenceArchbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby: “Those who serve will be loved and remembered longer than those who cling to power and privilege are long forgotten”.
- Dear academics, please try not to tweet about (World) university rankings. Such things are divisive and reductive. They have much more to do with wealth than scholarship. We should all know better.
- As anyone following me may have figured I'm now in treatment for a serious health problem. This has meant standing back from work at LSE. My colleagues are kindly organising a celebration for me on March 2nd: lse.ac.uk/social-policy/…. Do share. Do keep in touch (email is good)
- My regular opportunity to say please don't do this. League tables are divisive & agin everything universities should stand for. And, just in case my institution hadn't noticed, while you're tweeting this, most of the UK sector is on strike because of the damage being caused📣 We've done it again! 👏👏👏 We've been ranked top in Europe – and second in the world – in social science and management! #qswur ℹ️ Read the full story: bit.ly/2wrF7I5

- I was only in Hong Kong for 3 days but I think it's fairly easy to spot the limitations of the IPCC's report. Moreover, was visited in London by Mr Neoh last year; fair to say I wouldn't describe it as a 'dialogue'
- Not published yet (12th September) but delighted to finally have a physical copy of this. There was a time when I didn’t think I’d be around to see it. Thanks to all - family, friends, criminologists and oncologists - who helped make it possible
- I agree entirely that current Met conduct appears indefensible. However, anyone thinking it is somehow completely out of character really hasn’t been following policing over the past half century or more #orgreave #Hillsborough #JFT97 #stephenlawrence
- Quite extraordinary. You really couldn’t design a police action that would appear more insensitive. So little insight into the current moodScuffles break out at Clapham Common memorial for Sarah Everard as people chant “arrest your own.”
00:00 - I sincerely hope @guardian that if you are going to publicise this shameful grandstanding that you will, before long, publish a more thoughtful and thorough analysis of the political context of sentencing and release. I'm sure my colleagues who work in this field can help you outLondon Bridge attack: PM says automatic early prison release is not working - video theguardian.com/uk-news/video/…
