A new piece from me on electronic monitoring technologies in criminal justice.

I spoke on human rights and inspection of EM at an international event.

Stay for the bit when an IT expert discusses the potential for tags to deliver chemicals 😧😬

'Exploring the effect of motor #traffic on street #crime'. New preprint with @toby-davies.bsky.social jmpinasanchez.github.io/static/Traff...
When neighbourhoods are affected by 'heavy traffic' perceptions of vandalism, burglary and theft grow from 6% to 9%, and that is most likely an underestimate.
