What’s your fake starwars academic paper

Back from #Eurocrim2026! Great organisation, panels, roundtables, and catching up with people I’ve been seeing around. Exciting discussions at CRIMLabs, the @opencriminology.bsky.social roundtable on Repeatability in Criminology, and a session organised by my colleagues at @unicologne.bsky.social.
