I had the pleasure of meeting Hu and Bea a number of times & their commitment to help and support others shone bright. Hu will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him but most all his beloved wife Bea. The world could do with more people like Hu, it would be a far nicer place

🧵This is interesting... 👀 We all want to see less crime, and the @CollegeofPolice is looking into what works. It has just published findings from a systematic review of research into whether imprisonment and other custodial sanctions are effective.
