Imagine the scenario: you’re not at university but are instead alone in your family home. It’s the middle of night. You are awoken by noise from downstairs. Somebody is moving about inside your house yet your family are 200 miles away. Do you keep as quiet as possible and call the police, speaking in […]

I hope everyone had a nice Easter holiday, if indeed, you were fortunate enough to have one. For this blogger, they’ll be no holidays until the dissertation is terminated. Sorry, submitted! One criminology academic once told me that Easter and the beginning of April is either liberation or panic. Liberation in the sense that […]

As we near the end of March and approach Easter, although I am feeling slightly anxious about my final coursework and dissertation deadlines, I am continuing to enjoy my final year at the University of Leicester. I’ve spoken about some of the reasons for that in my previous posts. But one reason I haven’t mentioned […]

I’ve blogged about a range of subjects over the past few months but have not mentioned accommodation. However, as this is the time of year where prospective undergraduate and some returning students will be finalising their accommodation choices for the next academic year, this is the perfect opportunity to change that. I don’t think […]

A question for my fellow students at the University of Leicester: do you support your lecturers taking strike action last week and over the next couple of weeks (assuming a resolution is not found soon)?

A Special Day or A Special Dessert? February 14th is a unique day. Whether you are single or in a relationship and whether you are happy or unhappy about either scenario does partly impact on your opinion of the day. And whichever of those four scenarios it is, it’s very hard to escape the […]

As we move from January into February, the dissertation is beginning to dominate my life, or at the very least, dominate the studying part of my life. I’ve even starting referring to my dissertation as my girlfriend, such is the time and devotion I am attaching to it. Because I started my dissertation early, […]

The last couple of months have been busy with essays and the dissertation. I’ve also spent a certain amount of time researching Masters courses at a range of institutions. I have applied to the University of Oxford. While I took the application process extremely seriously, I am going to presume I will not get in […]

As the student blogger for criminology, it is inevitable that some of my blog posts will feature key criminological topics and stories, especially when they feature in the mainstream news. For that reason, today’s post focuses on the John Worboys case. An update on the latest situation is available at this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42678572 […]

Happy New Year everyone and good luck to all students at the University of Leicester about to sit examinations. I’m feeling extremely positive right now. I know some people detest the start of a new calendar year. A combination of the cold weather and the January credit card statement appear to be particularly […]
