CrimeTalk
An educational resource for students and staff studying the sociology of crime, deviance and social censure, criminology, sociology of law and socio-legal studies; the intriguing stuff that made the subject fascinating in the first place. So much of this has now become political that we also discuss politics.

Research and social data
This section contains a variety of informative little nuggets which are best summarized as social data. Some are research findings, some are statistics, and some are information from the media. This odd category of social data highlights two things: [1] that we are treating the information here as good or accurate or at least as a very good approximation to the truth, and [2] that academic research is not the only way to establish what's happened but one of several methods of asserting that something is 'data'. Additionally, it shows how often sources of data actually intermingle, so, for example, government reports, academic research, and journalist investigation frequently appear together in the same final write-up.

Some have been published elsewhere, but their authors or editors have given permission for them to be linked in here. So we are happy to re-publish them here as articles with social sharing buttons and 'add comment' buttons, enabling you to comment on or rate them yourself, or share them with friends and colleagues via Facebook, or tweet about them via Twitter.Do feel free to enter comments on them: authors always appreciate constructive discussion! That's what the Add Comment button is for. Just register and log in first so that your name and photo/avatar display with the comment.

Tweets
Some say Twitter is a cesspit, a miasma of voices all abusing each other at the same time. That is not true. Since 2010, I have found it an excellent way of communicating links to stories i want to publicise. Sometimes there are discussions of value, and often many brief comments. It is not a place for sustained reasoning or 'real conversations'. But it is a place to feel the nub of things and hear perceptions and views you would never of dreamed of. LOL that was polite! People who want real conversations should DM me on Twitter, or email me here using the Editor's page.

Press cuttings
These stories have appeared on our Home page and are archived here. They were selected from the vast output of the world's press by the Editor for their interest value to a criminologically educated readership and also to try to cover a wide range of topics. They were also free to access.
As time goes by, I hope we can globalize this section much more, with stories, comments and features from all over the world not just through the bits I have connections with. To that end, please send your online link in to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if there is a story or comment that you think should be archived for criminological posterity. Ed.
