Aby--not fast, just furious<p>I talked with my lecturer about possibly doing the anti-Semitism/Palestinian resistance topic for my assessment.</p><p>He explained that he'd love to read my take on it even if I looked at it via the hate crime topic, but also that if he said I could do that then he'd have to say yes to everyone who asked if they could do a topic we've already covered*, but we talked about perhaps looking at protest laws and policy and using it as an example to cover that (which then opens up discussion of the BLM protests compared to the anti-covid protests). </p><p>I've also pmuch finished a presentation on coercive control and have that ready to go if I can't make the anti-Semitism one work. </p><p>I think what I need to do is plan out the essay for assessment 5, and then work backwards from that to get the presentation in line.. and that'll help me work out if I can do it. The presentation is due on the 18th, so I pmuch have 10 days to research and plan a 2000 word essay and then write and record a 10 minute video presentation outlining the issue the essay will cover. </p><p>Nothing can go wrong with this plan! </p><p>_____<br>* personally I think the "we'd have to say yes to everyone" response is pmuch always nonsense.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/uni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uni</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Criminology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Criminology</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalJustice</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>university</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/audhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audhd</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a></p>
Aby--not fast, just furious<p>I have to pick a topic to make a 10 minute video presentation on, and then write an essay about for my "Contemporary and Emerging Issues in Crime and Justice" subject. </p><p>I can choose anything that is a "contemporary or emerging issue" that I want to research, however it can't be anything that our modules already cover.. </p><p>Our modules are:</p><p>- Hate Crime<br>- Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking<br>- Wildlife, Animal, and Forestry Crime<br>- Trafficking in Cultural Property<br>- Identity Crime<br>- Technology, Digitals, and Crime Prevention<br>- Institutional Abuse<br>- Trauma, Personality Functioning, and Offending Behaviour<br>- Aging Offenders<br>- Work with Offending Behaviour<br>- The Professions in Criminal Justice and Wellbeing</p><p>I want to write about the NSW anti-Semitism laws, and how they're actually being used to cow criticism of Israel's genocidal actions against Palestine, but I feel like the marker is going to think that comes too close to the "hate crime" module.</p><p>I was thinking of writing about either the under-16 social media ban or about Ring door camera surveillance stuff (but both could be covered by the tech/digitals module).</p><p>The only other thing I can think of is the whole ligature points in prisons issue.</p><p>Suggestions welcome!</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/uni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uni</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Criminology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Criminology</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalJustice</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>university</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a></p>
Aby--not fast, just furious<p>I'm exhausted today.. it's been a big week.</p><p>I was planning to get my uni assignment in today (when it's due), and have written it.. I just have to add a tiny bit in the hate crime section about anti-Semitism/Palestinian resistance, and a tiny bit in the human trafficking section that basically says we need to come correct on asylum seekers to properly protect people from human trafficking (without blowing up my word limit haha). Then a quick edit and it's done.</p><p>But I've hit the point where I'm just literally not getting anything done because I'm having trouble being awake, so I'm going to have to try to get it finished on the weekend and hand it in a little later than I wanted.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/audhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audhd</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/neurodiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodiverse</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>university</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/uni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uni</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Criminology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Criminology</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalJustice</span></a></p>

Aby--not fast, just furious<p>“Abolition, as a tradition, a philosophy, and a theory of change, moves away from a myopic focus on the prison toward a more expansive vision of the social, political, and economic processes that defined the context within which imprisonment came to be viewed as the legitimate hand of justice. As a “practical organizing tool and long-term goal”, abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment. As illustrated by the history of the prison and the police, reforms sold as “progressive” all too often function to mask expanding mandates, logics, and budget lines. Abolitionist movements require struggles about strategy and vision: what, for example are the “non-reformist reforms” (to use a phrase coined by Marxist theorist Andre Gorz and applied by Thomas Mathiesen in his Politics of Abolition) that make sustainable and material differences in the lives of people living under the control of oppressive systems?”</p><p>—Angela Y.

Aby--not fast, just furious<p>From the Sisters Inside Facebook page:</p><p>When ‘tougher’ checks hurt the wrong people</p><p>The women we work with through the National Network of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls often face immense barriers to obtaining a WWCC, even when their charges have nothing to do with children. Many who apply have convictions that stem from surviving poverty, violence, homelessness or substance use. These are routinely read by the system not as evidence of structural harm or survival, but as fixed indicators of unsuitability.</p><p>Criminalised women — especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women — already face steep hurdles when applying for a clearance after prison. The law treats a decades-old shoplifting charge, a survival response to domestic violence, or even the state-sanctioned removal of one’s own child as permanent red flags. These often result in women being denied a clearance and being issued a prohibition or negative notice.</p><p>_____</p><p><a href="https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/08/joshua-brown-allegations-working-with-children-check-childcare-victoria/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Facebook&amp;fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLaomVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHkteWPLtpBEDfBIEcaWqTvd0Y1l6ILXX0z6m_oMIQY2ZnSRejPWIjJdWrzvO_aem_OWun6Zv0rPgzJ0TVQhfYag#Echobox=1751957344" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">crikey.com.au/2025/07/08/joshu</span><span class="invisible">a-brown-allegations-working-with-children-check-childcare-victoria/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Facebook&amp;fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLaomVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHkteWPLtpBEDfBIEcaWqTvd0Y1l6ILXX0z6m_oMIQY2ZnSRejPWIjJdWrzvO_aem_OWun6Zv0rPgzJ0TVQhfYag#Echobox=1751957344</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Aboriginal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aboriginal</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Decolonise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Decolonise</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SovereigntyNeverCeded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SovereigntyNeverCeded</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Treaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Treaty</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FuckRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckRacism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FuckWhiteness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckWhiteness</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FuckColonisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckColonisation</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AbolishPolice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbolishPolice</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AbolishPrisons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbolishPrisons</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Abolition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Abolition</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CommunityNotCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityNotCops</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoJusticeNoPeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoJusticeNoPeace</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Youth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Youth</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Children</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Criminology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Criminology</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalJustice</span></a></p>
