Drawing on 707 interviews, we show how violence against people accused of sex offenses is not simply spontaneous or individual vigilantism; it forms part of a remarkably consistent "informal prisoner justice system" governing prison life. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1745-9125.7006113 Jul 2026 17:28 +0000at://did:plc:dct77dkzndtsh44dasnpme4l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqk7qbn55s2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/tetrault.bsky.social/post/3m7ipllhin22aThis Wednesday I’ll be talking about Indigenous health and incarceration experiences. I show how holistic health models - including cultural and community-based supports - are crucial for supporting system-involved people and for confronting the structures driving Indigenous mass incarceration.08 Dec 2025 18:58 +0000at://did:plc:dct77dkzndtsh44dasnpme4l/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7ipllhin22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/tetrault.bsky.social/post/3m3aujah5222x"$8,492 for Flip-Flops: The Price of Punishment Without Support", by Emily Stewart.

It's (tentatively) about how current political trends complicate traditional understandings of the left and right. The project centres on German populism and involves interviews with AfD and BSW supporters.09 Jul 2025 20:07 +0000at://did:plc:dct77dkzndtsh44dasnpme4l/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltkmk36n522bhttps://bsky.app/profile/tetrault.bsky.social/post/3lsbhvbwtkc22Giving a talk tomorrow about far-right politics in Canada at @maynoothuniversity.ie. It's about penal populism as a form of far-right politics and how "far-right studies" often suffers from presentism. #maynoothcrimcon #criminology Parallel Sessions 2, 4pm, TSI/04323 Jun 2025 11:25 +0000at://did:plc:dct77dkzndtsh44dasnpme4l/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsbhvbwtkc22https://bsky.app/profile/tetrault.bsky.social/post/3ls5hw7l6os2vExcited to share I’m joining @sfu.ca's School of Criminology, where I'll have the opportunity to expand my research programs and teach graduate students.
