Slightly behind on these! Book 10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 short easy to read chapters with lots of useful case studies for criminology, psychology & sociology. Some of the cases were horrifying in their police ineptitude or prejudices.

Book 7 🌟🌟🌟 1/2. Think it was more of an action thriller rather than psychological one. Enjoyable read and will work way through series at one point. Would be a great holiday read.

Book 5. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Difficult, thought provoking read. Asks questions about life, punishment, media & state. Could definitely become a reality in a few years time. Possibly a modern ‘classic’ in a few years - can see as an A level text.

Book 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟. Started before Christmas but only just finished. Needed to focus on the computer sciencey bits (so not a bedtime book!) but a fascinating & scary insight into how hacking has influenced events in the world.

And Book 3 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 First 5 star of the year. Perfect thriller to help forget about January blues and just focus on a book for a couple of days. Need to explore the rest of their catalogue!

Absolutely loving the Tutor2U reading articles for Criminology, Psychology & Sociology. Easy homeworks to set; extend student knowledge & understanding with relevant real examples and exam questions. Looking forward to using them from Sept.

A lovely evening of positivity. An amazing cast, funny and slightly OTT. Great night out at Plymouth’s Theatre Royal and pleased to have seen this before it transfers to the West End in October.
