One for criminologists to get their teeth into:
NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?

This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown

Why, then, doesn’t it feel like it?

Some of the most powerful artists and art works are found behind prison walls.
The Koestler Exhibition provides the visitor with a glimpse at a wide range of art. Rehabilitation comes in many forms; never underestimate the power of art to transform someone's life.
Go if you can.
"It can be more than black/white"

Visited the always thought-provoking annual Koestler Exhibition at London's Southbank Centre - 200 pieces of art by those in custodial settings 👇

Not telling people what to think, but enabling interesting discussions to arise within visitors. Recommend it.

I’ve been interviewed about other drugs, drug policy & (of course) drug checking in recent years so it was quite a trip to go back to the heady heights of millennial cafe bar culture, alcopops & 24-hour cities, to reflect on how policy affects the lives, & bodies, of young people into adulthood.
A BBC Panorama doc featuring reporter Hazel Martin & I is being broadcast on Monday looking at the binge drinking phenomenon of the 2000s & its health impact on young women like her.
