The Racial Ideology of the British Police: Protecting and Maintaining the Racial Interests of the White Institution. So happy to have this article published in the British Journal of Criminology. *Please read & share* 🙏🏼 doi.org/10.1093/bjc/azae043 #race #criminology
Hi all, policing academics.. would you be able to point me towards the recent literature which connects police culture and emotional labour? This would help a PhD student greatly.. #criminology #phd #AcademicChatter

#race and #ethnicity researchers - aside from Puwar's work on amplification - do you know of any academic work which speaks to the idea that 'race' is seen as a threat when ethnic minorities fill a space 'en masse'? The idea that a 'little bit of race is ok' but not a lot..

Since it is Paulo Freire's birthday, I want to remind everyone what he taught us: there’s no such thing as a politically neutral education, a politically neutral curriculum, or a politically neutral pedagogy.
I find much criminology teaching only briefly engages with class - how do others engage with class in their teaching - ie. topics taught, seminar discussions/activities explored? Please hit me with your tips 🤩thanks #criminology #academia #phdchat
