This is surprising news.

Worth watching. Felt a bit emotional watching this to be honest. It really does mark a very different approach.

This is not what prison is for. There needs to be room for the people it IS for.

A wonderful afternoon and evening with @MMUPERU discussing all things criminology and of course the international crime and justice film festival 2024. The Accused, made in the 80s, shows we sadly haven’t come that far on our attitudes to female victims of rape.
An excellent close to @MMUPERU International Crime and Justice Film Festival 2024. @EdwinaGrosvenor selected The Accused (1988). With our audience, we discussed the film and continuities in societal responses to sexual violence, gendered and class judgements and masculinities.
