Read and learn?
Many of us like to keep up with the latest developments in criminal justice by reading a range of blogs. Some, like mine, are mainly factual, reporting on the latest research, policy and practice. Many others focus more on analysis and commentary, arguing for what a better world should look like.
All of the blogs listed below have been recommended by readers, almost all of them are focused on the UK. I realise that Probation Quarterly and the Prison Service Journal are not strictly blogs but they are full of invaluable information for people interested in justice so I have included them anyway.
I hope you enjoy reading them and I’m happy to update the list with your recommendations. Just Send me an email.
