Many social problems are blamed on 'fatherlessness'. But if fathers aren't present, where are they? @profatarrant.bsky.social explains how our social structures - such as inadequate housing, jobs, social security & parenting support - are obstructing engaged fatherhood: nowandmen.net/episode/anna...

Some UK Government U-turns are to be welcomed. Their (now ditched) plan to publish the names and photographs of people doing unpaid work as part of their community sentence was as deeply problematic as the quotes in this piece suggest #Probation #CrimSky #Criminology insidetime.org/newsround/go...

Government U-turns on plans to ‘name and shame’ people doing unpaid work

The Government has abandoned a controversial plan to publish the names and photos of people sentenced to do unpaid work in the community. The proposal would have seen people convicted of minor crim…

Fathers on low incomes & young dads are often portrayed as 'failing', & father absence blamed for a 'crisis of masculinity'. Yet many are seeking to care for their children despite the hurdles, so how can we support them? @profatarrant.bsky.social explains on #NowandMen nowandmen.net/episode/anna...

It was inspiring to learn about the social movement that rose up to stop martial law this time last year in South Korea, with Goldie Kim for #NowandMen. And to learn about the central role of young women - who have also driven the 'feminist reboot' in the country: nowandmen.net/episode/gold...

Serious question! How many times should one 'refresh' before the 'awaiting final decision' on a manuscript manifests into a decision? Not asking for a friend.

Hello - it's taken a while but we are finally here! The BSC is on Bluesky. We look forward to sharing all the exciting things happening at the BSC: Events, Networks, Newsletters, our 2026 conference, membership opportunities and much more. Please follow us for all things Criminology and CJ!

I know there is a lot going on in the world but @bordercrim.bsky.social facing a funding crisis to stay meaningfully afloat. Initially in search of £12,000— any ideas of where to look gratefully received. Feels like a bad time to have our platform shrink.
