👮🇧🇷📚 Police forces have made significant investments in #bodycams to reduce the use of force and enhance transparency. In this op-ed, I discuss some of the controversies surrounding the impact of #BWCs in Brazil. @Andrea_Varsori @Urban_Violence @nevusp urbanviolence.org/brazils-ongoin…
My article "Escaping Precariousness: Criminal Occupational Mobility of Homicide Inmates During the Mexican Drug War" has been published by @IllicitEcons! It is the first glance at my PhD Thesis. You can read it for free here: jied.lse.ac.uk/articles/10.31…
Insightful and important discussion on El Salvador's controversial anti-gang policies that supposedly caused a major drop in violence, at the cost of mass incarceration. @Urban_Violence urbanviolence.org/myths-and-hard…
As the situation deteriorates further in Haiti’s capital, the question of international intervention looms large. Here is some important context from two recent pieces on Word on the Street. urbanviolence.org/why-kenya-want…
El Salvador's President Bukele is widely celebrated for his crackdown on gangs, seen in media images of bound MS-13 inmates in a new mega-prison. But in this latest @Urban_Violence piece, @vivigarciap & José Salguero show why we should be very concerned. urbanviolence.org/myths-and-hard…
Happy to share our analysis of security policy in #ElSalvador and its linkages to the process of autocratization. We question some of the myths and deceitful narratives surrounding Bukele's model. Thanks to the @Urban_Violence's blog for the space! @amassuru @RedPolitologas

Myths and Hard Truths in the Latin American Security Landscape: (Part I) Bukele’s State of Emergency in El Salvador @vivigarciap & José Salguero unpack #ElSalvador’s massive gang crackdowns and transition towards autocracy under President Bukele👇 urbanviolence.org/myths-and-hard…
As anyone following me may have figured I'm now in treatment for a serious health problem. This has meant standing back from work at LSE. My colleagues are kindly organising a celebration for me on March 2nd: lse.ac.uk/social-policy/…. Do share. Do keep in touch (email is good)
#Haiti: On Monday, Dec 4th at 8:30AM, @CSISAmericas will host an important virtual event in partnership with Haiti Policy House. What are the prospects and pitfalls of a #Kenya-led security assistance mission in Haiti? Tune in as @CHernandezRoy moderates. csis.org/events/prospec…
🔥Hot of the presses🔥 Important work on women & agency: 1) Special Issue on women & violence edited by @TereMartinez & @GemaKloppe 2) Report by @angelicaospina5 on recruitment, roles, and prevention of women & #organizedcrime available on @ICGlatam website.
New Word on the Street🚨 @maricarvalb examines the recent assassination of #Ecuador's Fernando Villavicencio as part of "a broader trend where criminal groups infiltrate the state..disrupt the electoral process, and undermine the foundations of democracy." urbanviolence.org/unveiling-ecua…
The article uses assemblage theory (which Brendan has published extensively on - see e.g. 👇) and combines our own data on conflict-related violence in postwar cities with other geocoded socioeconomic data to identify different forms of postwar spaces using factor analysis
New article exploring the spatial legacies and transformations of violence in postwar cities, specifically focusing on Belfast, by Brendan Murtagh, @ivan_gusic, @MarieTh_Meye and myself in @Peacebuilding_ (open access): tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Excited to share that this article with @SJCK_Sheff and @Julietmberg is finally out! We discuss the 'publics of policing' and moving beyond nodal policing. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Out today! 'The spatiality and temporality of urban violence' - a new interdisciplinary collection edited by Mara Albrecht and @AlkeJenss 👀 manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526165732 #urbanstudies #urbanhistory #urbanviolence
Why does Kenya want to lead a police mission in Haiti and what are the prospects of success? Based on our research on police in Kenya, here is the analysis I make with @mutahiwahome & @emmaelfversson at the @Urban_Violence urbanviolence.org/why-kenya-want…
