SUMMARY:BSC Policing Network\, BSC Criminology Women\, Crime and Criminal Justice Network\, one-day conference
DESCRIPTION:BSC Policing Network\, BSC Criminology Women\, Crime and Criminal Justice Network\, City University and the University of Essex’s Centre for Criminology\, one-day conference: Police Misconduct and Violence Against Women and Girls: Exploring Research and Practice \nEvidence from a series of police reviews and inquiries in recent years has revealed serious and systemic misogyny and violence against women and girls in policing. Both police culture\, and police vetting\, misconduct\, and disciplinary practices have been identified as contributing to this situation. Despite the intense recent media attention on issues of police misconduct in England\, the way these practices work and the opportunities\, challenges and barriers to their improvement remain poorly understood. As the government launches a review of disciplinary procedures in policing and the College of Policing prepares to launch its new Code of Police Ethics\, this event brings police researchers\, stakeholders and practitioners together to explore these issues\, share knowledge in the field\, and ultimately shape a research agenda for the future. \nPlease sign up here.

SUMMARY:BSC Learning and Teaching Network free online seminar
DESCRIPTION:BSC Learning and Teaching Network free online seminar: Creating Student Communities in Criminology. \nHear about innovative ways in which a sense of community has been fostered amongst criminology students in this free online seminar. \n  \nThe BSC Learning and Teaching Network is delighted to host this free online seminar\, that explores a series of innovations in the development of student communities in criminology. \nThe 90-minute seminar comprises two 30-minute presentations\, followed by 30 minutes for questions and networking. \nAn overview of each presentation is provided below: \n  \nWhat Works for ‘Authentic Belonging’ Enhancement in Criminology? \nChristine Haddow and Jackie Brodie (Edinburgh Napier University) \nEnhancing belonging and community is an area of strategic priority in research\, within institutions and across the HE sector (Campbell\, 2019; Robertson et al.\, 2019). The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown into sharp focus the need to galvanise student communities and enhance belonging to support student attainment and engagement\, and as a buffer to mental health challenges (Blignaut et al.\, 2021; Gopalan et al.\, 2021). Yet as a concept\, belonging remains contested and complex\, and insights into its practical enhancement to support the development of communities as we move forward\, are limited. In Criminology\, a very small body of research has explored belonging or the various communities our students may feel part of (Dabney\, Green and Volkan\, 2006; Maunder\, 2018; van Herpen et al. 2020). In seeking to address this gap\, we propose the concept of ‘authentic belonging’\, which emerged through the qualitative evaluation of a suite of belonging focused mini-projects conducted at Edinburgh Napier University. This presentation will explore and unpack the meaning of community and belonging in Criminology and provide practical recommendations for their enhancement within the discipline. In doing so\, the paper provides a blueprint for criminologists seeking to strengthen the bonds of community for their learner cohorts. \n  \nPartners in Crime: Inclusion and Belonging on a Criminology Programme \nSuzanne Young (University of Leeds) \nThis presentation will discuss the Partners in Crime initiative introduced into BA Criminology and Criminal Justice programme in the School of Law at the University of Leeds. Criminology courses are not always diverse\, meaning that students can feel marginalized if they don’t see themselves as belonging to the cohort\, which can result in feelings of isolation and disengagement. This initiative grew from students wanting a greater sense of course identity and belonging within the School of Law\, and a desire to meet other students on the programme. The student led peer support initiative gave new 1st year students the opportunity to meet others in their cohort and in other year groups\, whereby they were paired together during induction week. A background to the initiative\, how it operated both on campus and online\, and the student feedback will be presented while discussing the benefits of peer support to enhance a sense of belonging. \n  \nShould you have any queries about this event\, please contact Sean Butcher (s.b.butcher@leeds.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:BSC Hate Crime Network online event: Sexual Harassment in the Night-Time Economy.
DESCRIPTION:BSC Hate Crime Network online event: Sexual Harassment in the Night-Time Economy. \n23 March\, 2-3pm with guest speaker Michelle Cunliffe\, Nottingham Trent University. \nAbstact\nSexual harassment is a global issue that disproportionately affects women (Gouseti\, 2020: Stanko\, 1990; Vera-Gray\, 2016). Sexual harassment in public spaces\, in particular in the Night-Time Economy\, is relatively sparse. Whilst research has explored safety and women’s perceptions of safety in licenced venues\, the focus tends to be on drink spiking and rape. Despite unwanted sexual behaviours such as touching and unwanted attention being documented as pervasive there is a lack of research in a UK context that focuses specifically on sexual harassment in licenced venues. This presentation will present the initial findings of the authors PhD thesis. Using a feminist methodological approach and based on semi-structured interviews\, the experiences of women who have been impacted by and witnessed sexual harassment in licenced venues will be discussed. This research will illuminate the ways in which women experience harassment and how space and safety are negotiated in licenced venues. Findings suggest that the appearance of men and women and the appearance of venues influence perceptions of safety. Women also negotiate their rights to space in licenced venues by avoiding certain areas of space or accessing areas collectively. Findings also suggest that sexual harassment is presented as ‘just routine’ and interestingly\, in some cases\, women position themselves as abject when they do not experience unwanted sexual behaviours. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Reimagining Probation and the Rehabilitation of Offenders conference
DESCRIPTION:The BSC Midland Regional branch and University of Wolvershapton 1-day conference: Reimagining Probation and the Rehabilitation of Offenders. \nThis conference aims to explore new developments\, policies\, and practices in probation and the rehabilitation of offenders. \nUniversity of Wolverhampton – City Campus Wulfruna Street Wolverhampton WV1 1LY \nThis conference aims to explore new developments\, policies\, and practices in probation and the rehabilitation of offenders. The new era of the renationalisation of the Probation Service in England and Wales has established a redefined reality for the service where both low- and high-risk offenders are supervised by the National Probation Service. This has also meant the introduction and involvement of new and existing partners in the supervision of offenders in both prison and community settings. The Target Operating Model for probation services in England and Wales published in early 2021 has set renewed principles\, anticipated benefits\, and promises for offenders\, victims\, and probation officers in the renationalised infrastructure of probation. These ranging from transforming through partnerships\, an open culture\, and consistent supervision to changes in the language of probation\, modernising estates\, and more manageable workloads remain to be evaluated in both academia and practice. This conference thereby invites academics and practitioners to discuss their experiences\, examinations\, or expectations of this renationalisation enterprise and further appraise what path the new model imagines for probation and the rehabilitation of offenders. In addition\, the conference is interested in other developments in the area that may have accompanied renationalisation\, such as OMiC\, IOM (Refresh) and others and their impact on the culture and practice of probation and associated services. Due to the collaborative ethos the new model aims to establish\, academics and practitioners are invited to share their research and experience with multi-agency work in probation too – whether that involves criminal justice or non-criminal justice agencies\, Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements\, or the future of victim work and victim liaison agencies in the reintegration of offenders. The conference also appreciates how the renationalisation era has come after the challenging part-privatised state of the Probation Service which has been heavily criticised by academics\, practitioners\, and service users alike. As such\, it also invites discussion of the aftermath of part-privatisation of the service in relation to the state in which renationalisation has found probation services\, and\, crucially\, the continuing impact of the Transforming Rehabilitation policy. Finally\, the conference is interested in comparative approaches as well as experience or research on probation from other jurisdictions which may demonstrate developments in working with offenders and new rehabilitation policies outside England and Wales too. \nFull details about the event\, including the infromatoin on the schedule\, key speakers and registration details can be found here.

SUMMARY:Race and Justice Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Counterterrorism in the UK: The Policing of Muslims in the name of fighting armed Muslim Groups \nIn this session\, Rizwaan Sabir will critically map the connections between counterinsurgency warfare and the domestic ‘war on terror’ being fought in the United Kingdom through policing\, counterterrorism\, and counter-extremism policy\, law\, and practice. The session will draw upon Sabir’s recently published book ‘The Suspect’ which employs counterinsurgency warfare theory and doctrine to conceptualize and frame his experience of being arrested and detained by UK authorities on suspicion of terrorism for possessing a document he downloaded from the US Department of Justice website for his research on armed Muslim groups\, and years of subsequent surveillance and state interest he was subjected to on his release (without charge) from custody. \nSabir will outline how and why the employment of counterinsurgency approaches to the policing of terrorism are fundamentally concerned with pre-emptively neutralizing threats before they manifest into violence and how such an approach de-politicizes and de-historicizes armed Muslim struggle (and political Islam more broadly). He will also examine how this pre-emptive approach to counterterrorism constructs armed Muslim struggle as a ‘new’ form of terrorism\, and how such a reading signifies Muslims as dangerous and risky; making securitization\, coercion\, and conflict the logical outcome of counterterrorism policy. The lecture concludes with some suggestions around how a human-rights orientated approach that centers and recognizes the role of socio-economics and notably politics is critical to understanding and addressing the issue of terrorism and counterterrorism in the UK (and the west more broadly)\, and how communities of struggle can contest\, challenge\, and resist securitization and counterterrorism policy and practice. \nBio: Dr Rizwaan Sabir is an Assistant Professor in Criminology at the School of Justice Studies at Liverpool John Moores University (UK)\, and author of the book ‘The Suspect: Counterterrorism\, Islam\, and the Security State’ (Pluto\, 2022). In addition to providing analysis and commentary in the written and broadcast media for the Guardian\, Al-Jazeera\, TRT World\, and the BBC\, he briefs lawyers\, community groups\, and policy makers at the UK Parliament\, United Nations\, and the Council of Europe. He can be contacted via email R.Sabir@ljmu.ac.uk or followed on Twitter at the following handle: @RizwaanSabir \n—— \nSpeaker: Tarek Younis \nThe Muslim\, State and Mind: The Psychologisation of Counter-Extremism \nMental health is positioned as the cure-all for society’s discontents\, from pandemics to terrorism. But psychology and psychiatry are not apolitical\, and neither are Muslims. In this session\, Tarek Younis unpacks where the politics of the psy-disciplines and the politics of Muslims overlaps\, demonstrating how psychological theories and practices serve State interests and perpetuate inequality—especially racism and Islamophobia. Viewing the psy-disciplines from the margins\, Younis will draw upon his forthcoming book to illustrate how these necessarily serve the State in the production of loyal\, low-risk and productive citizens\, offering a modern discussion of three paradigms underlying the psy-disciplines: neoliberalism\, security and the politics of mental health. \nBio: Dr Tarek Younis is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Middlesex University. He researches and writes on Islamophobia\, racism in mental health\, the securitisation of clinical settings and the politics of psychology. He teaches on the impact of culture\, religion\, globalisation\, and security policies on mental health. As a registered clinical psychologist\, he primarily attends to experiences of racism\, Islamophobia\, and state violence in his private practice. His book is called The Muslim\, State and Mind: Psychology in Times of Islamophobia. \n—— \nDiscussant: Arun Kundnani \nKundnani writes about racial capitalism and Islamophobia\, surveillance and political violence\, and Black radical movements. He is the author of The Muslims are Coming! Islamophobia\, extremism\, and the domestic War on Terror (Verso\, 2014) and The End of Tolerance: racism in 21st century Britain (Pluto\, 2007)\, which was selected as a New Statesman book of the year. He has written for the Nation\, the Guardian\, the Washington Post\, Vice\, and The Intercept. Born in London\, he moved to New York in 2010. A former editor of the journal Race & Class\, he was miseducated at Cambridge University\, and holds a PhD from London Metropolitan University. He has been an Open Society fellow and a scholar-in-residence at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, New York Public Library. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:BSC Learning and Teaching Network - Managing Difficult Conversations in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Hear about innovative approaches towards managing challenging criminological conversations in this free online seminar that explores a series of pedagogically-informed approaches to managing difficult conversations in learning spaces. \nThe 90-minute seminar comprises two 30-minute presentations\, followed by 30 minutes for questions and networking. \nCultivating trauma-informed pedagogies in criminology: Insights from student victim-survivors. Julia Downes (The Open University) \nMany people with lived experience of injustice and violence are drawn to criminology; however\, criminology has traditionally kept lived experience and victimisation at its margins. Survivor criminology emphasises the importance of listening to lived experience (Cook et al.\, 2022)\, so how can educators hold space for classroom discussions of sensitive and controversial topics with students from different backgrounds and levels of lived experience? I will share findings from an educational research project on how students learn sensitive topics in criminology at The Open University (Downes\, Wall & Alvaer 2022) and a digital toolkit co-produced with students and tutors as part of the Positive Digital Practices project. In attending to the experiences of student victim-survivors studying gender-based violence I emphasise how supporting the strengths\, capacities\, and skills of those of us with lived experience can transform the criminological classroom. \nA recent THE Campus article related to the particulars of this presentation can be found here. \nAn inclusive learning design approach to individual and socially sensitive topics in the classroom. Rachael Burns and Cynthia Meersohn Schmidt (University of York) \nWith a broad outlook on mental wellbeing in the classroom\, we aim to introduce perspectives and strategies that can serve colleagues in Higher and Further Education to introduce and discuss difficult topics in the classroom. We will be drawing from cases from our teaching experience including on topics such as hate crime and debating social anxiety as a medical gaze. \nShould you have any queries about this event\, please contact Sean Butcher (s.b.butcher@leeds.ac.uk). \nRegister for the seminar here.

SUMMARY:BSC Race Matters Network: Race and Justice Seminar Series.
DESCRIPTION:Crisis Ordinariness and Racial Justice. \nSpeaker: Prof Nasar Meer. Nasar Meer is Professor of Sociology in the School of Social and Political Sciences and Director of RACE.ED at the University of Edinburgh. \nThis talk explores how societies adapt to a form of ‘crisis ordinariness’ (Berlant 2011) in which the regularity of racial injustice prevails without the need for pre-meditated racist intentions. Underwritten by a ‘racial contract’ (Mills 1997)\, and propelled by racial mechanics in seemingly disparate and ancillary social spheres (Meer 2022)\, the argument advanced here is that social systems bear the imprints of older racial injustices that are not merely restated but re-articulated in ways that may be novel\, and yet share common properties with how other racial projects have been curated and sustained. Seeing racial injustice as systemic\, therefore\, better allows us to grasp the nature of the challenge we face. \nThe event is online and free to attend. Register here. For further information\, please contact the event organiser and Race Matters Network co-coordinator Dr Monish Bhatia (m.bhatia@bbk.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:BSC Victims Network and Women\, Crime and Criminal Justice Network one-day conference on perpetrators of violence against women
DESCRIPTION:The British Society of Criminology Victims Network (BSCVN) and Women\, Crime and Criminal Justice Network (WCCJN) are pleased to announce a one-day conference on perpetrators of violence against women. \n9.30am-4pm\, 21 October 2022.  Followed by a wine reception. City University\, London. \nConfirmed keynote speakers: \n• Dr Michael Flood (Queensland University of Technology (QUT) (Research)\n• Jo Todd\, CEO Respect (Practice)\n• Other TBC \nOver the last four decades\, significant attention has been paid to men’s violence against women and girls. Much of this has focused on victimisation – studying the prevalence\, nature\, impacts and consequences of violence against women – which has informed legislative reform and policy implementation with the aim of preventing VAWG and improving criminal justice and support outcomes for survivors. This has informed\, and been informed by\, feminist theory and research\, and Victimology as a specific sub-discipline of Criminology. \nBy contrast\, perpetrators of violence against women and girls have been understudied\, perhaps with the exception of child sex offenders where research has been most concentrated. The evidence gaps in relation to perpetrators have recently been acknowledged by the UK Government who have commissioned research and pilot projects on perpetrators of domestic violence to inform the wider Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy and forthcoming Domestic Abuse Act (2021) which acknowledges the need to focus on perpetrators both in terms of prevention and responding to violence against women. In Europe\, the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly has highlighted the importance of focusing on perpetrators of VAWG and called for member states to enhance knowledge to inform perpetrator programmes and prevention work. Over the last decade there has been some research on perpetrator programmes (Kelly and Westmarland\, 2014) but this remains fairly limited. Moreover\, emerging research on working with men and boys has attested to the importance of conducting work with men generally\, as well as those already known as perpetrators (Burrell\, 2018; 2019) but there remain significant gaps in this area. \nWe hope to use the conference as a platform to stimulate discussion and collaboration and intend to submit a proposal for a Special Issue based on some of the papers presented at the conference. \nThe event is free to attend and you can register here. \nRoom details to be confirmed closer to the time
