And particularly enjoyed this at BSC2011

Ms Sarah Lamble
QUEER INVESTMENTS IN PUNISHMENT: SEXUAL CITIZENSHIP, SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND THE EXPANDING PENAL STATE

Arguing that LGBTQ activists sucked into Punitiveness. For instance some nearly tricked into an EDL fronted 'Pride' March that was just an excuse to march through muslim areas.


(see my entry on Queer Theory in Sage Dictionary of Criminology too)

MATTER ALL OVER THE PLACE: LITTER, CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE

I argue criminology, including green criminology, fails to take litter seriously and that the 'litterature' is too punitive or unknowing of criminological issues etc.
