Ep61: Policing drugs - instinct or evidence?

<p>Should ‘gut feeling’ be used to make decisions in drugs policing?</p><p>In this episode, Rob and Penelope are joined by Dr Bisi Akintoye, lecturer at the University of Roehampton, and Professor Alex Stevens, University of Sheffield, to discuss how we police drugs.

Ep60: Do the children on remand need to be there?

<p>In England and Wales, children can be remanded to custody before they have been found guilty of any crime. But are too many children being locked up unnecessarily, and at what cost? In this episode, hosts Penelope and Rob are joined by Angus Jones, HMI Prisons Team Leader for Children and Young People, and Mel Stooks, solicitor, to examine the use of remand for children in the youth justice system.</p><p>They explore the impact even a short spell in custody has on children&#39;s lives, why so many remanded children are ultimately not given a custodial sentence, and why disorganisation across the various services involved so often means that a workable bail package isn&#39;t ready at a child&#39;s first court appearance, leaving a child in custody who need not be there.</p><p><strong>Angus Jones</strong></p><p>Read HMIP&#39;s report on children on short-term remand here: https://hmiprisons.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmipris_reports/children-on-short-term-remand/</p><p><strong>Mel Stooks</strong></p><p>Learn about Mel&#39;s work here: https://gtstewart.co.uk/our-people/mel-stooks/</p><p><strong>Further resources</strong></p><p>See Transform Justice&#39;s work on pre-trial imprisonment here: https://www.transformjustice.org.uk/focus-areas/pre-trial-imprisonment/</p><p><strong>Transform Justice</strong></p><p><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://x.com/TransformJust1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TransformJust1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/TransformJust1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong>BlueSky: </strong><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/transformjustice.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@transformjustice.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Email:</strong> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠policy@transformjustice.org.uk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>The Transform Justice podcast is hosted by Penelope Gibbs and Rob Allen and produced and edited by Alexandra Kimmons.</p>
