I hope this gets the conversation started about the practical and ethical issues with making transcripts and other qualitative data public. The editors of Criminology @VolkanTopalli seem open to discuss. Would live to hear other people's thoughts on it. #Criminology #qualcrim
Pleased that The Criminologist published @HeCopes & my article on the "Transparency trade-off: the risks of Criminology’s new data sharing policy". As board members of #Criminology we felt it was important to discuss possible implications for qualitative researchers &participants

This piece explains how Addiction handles terminology that may be harmful to vulnerable groups. As a global journal, we find significant disagreement among our authors, readers, and reviewers, of what terms to avoid. Therefore, 1/3 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/….

I very much appreciate @UAB_CJ and @UAB_CAS for supporting me and my work throughout my career. It is the reason I've stayed at UAB for 22 years! Looking forward to the next 22 (well, maybe not 22 but a bunch more).

There are two papers based on visual methods in this issue of Crime and Delinquency! Mine with @SveinungSandbe1 and @jaredragland and one by @TheRitaPhD Maybe the method will become more common in criminology and criminal justice!

Thanks @averyanapol for helping get our work in The Conversation. We hope by sharing the stories of women like Misty and Alice we can help minimize the stigma they face and ensure they have access to resources they need. Thanks @UAB_CJ and @UAB_CAS for supporting this research

Great new edited collection out! And, I have a chapter on photo methods with @davis_alexp
Replying to @Faria_Rita_EC
The volume introduces innovative and inspired qualitative methods through topics on crime commission, victimisation and crime control. It highlights how qual methods are well suited to analyse current topics. And includes stellar authors and contributions

One of my favorite things about people from South Louisiana is that they are not afraid to stuff meat with other meat. Happy Thanksgiving!
