Welcome to the October issue of the EG newsletter! Welcome to the October edition of the EG Newsletter! As we dive into the final months of 2024, we’re thrilled to bring you a rich lineup of thought-provoking articles, powerful reflections, and calls to action. This month’s issue opens with a deep examination of recent far-right riots across the UK, accompanied by a powerful reference list curated by Joe Sim that unpacks media bias, the implications of deterrent sentencing, and systemic racial inequalities. Heledd Melangell invites us to envision the haunting future of incarceration in ‘Prison 2100: A Mega Prisons Eco-Dystopia’, an exploration of dystopian prison systems that spark crucial questions about the social costs of punitive responses to ecological crises. Andrea Brock’s timely article challenges prevailing calls for expanded policing in response to recent unrest, advocating instead for community-centred approaches that move beyond the limited and often harmful impacts of state intervention. This theme resonates across our newsletter, where you’ll also find a call for papers led by Valeria Vegh Weis, exploring Southern perspectives in state crime criminology, inviting fresh insights from voices and communities that often remain marginalized in dominant criminological discourse.
