This blog is run by the BSC office.
We are interested in posts that address any aspect of crime, criminology or criminal justice. Posts range in length but should be original, relatively brief, clear, contemporary and inviting.
Our audience is wide-ranging: not just academic researchers but also policy makers, practitioners, educators, students and the public. We may offer small suggestions for editing your contribution, but generally we want to feature diverse voices, styles, and views.
