SUMMARY:Britain's Broken Justice System
DESCRIPTION:As our long\, hot summer finally comes to an end\, so too has the honeymoon period for the new PM\, as he confronts all those thorny issues which bedevilled his predecessors\, and still remain unresolved. And one of the most intractable is the crisis in Britain’s criminal justice system\, as exemplified most recently in our prisons where\, not for the first time\, inmates are having to be released early because of overcrowding. Quite apart from the trauma it evokes in their victims – not to mention the burden it places on the probation system – the exercise is largely futile\, because the stubbornly-high reoffending rate only adds further pressure to our already-stretched judicial system. Little wonder\, then\, that new cases are taking ever longer to come to court – even the controversial proposal to axe some jury trials wouldn’t even scratch the surface of this long-standing problem. Is it time\, then\, to completely rethink our approach\, by considering alternatives to locking up ever more of our fellow citizens? There’s a lot to talk about\, so why not join us for an hour of lively discussion on these important issues! \nIf you haven’t yet done so\, there’s still time to join our mailing list\, which will ensure that you receive those all-important Zoom log-in details… just click here: Subscribe to the Current Affairs group

SUMMARY:What Do We Really Know About Microplastics?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Iseult Lynch \n  School of Geography\, Earth and Environmental Sciences\, Professor of Environmental Nanosciences\nMicroplastics have become one of today’s most talked-about environmental issues\, but how much do we really know? \nJoin Professor Iseult Lynch of the University of Birmingham as she explores the latest scientific evidence\, separating established facts from popular assumptions. Drawing on her internationally recognised research into microplastics\, nanomaterials and environmental systems\, she will examine what current science reveals\, where uncertainties remain\, and how researchers are improving our understanding of these invisible pollutants. \nAn engaging and thought-provoking afternoon for anyone interested in science\, the environment and informed debate. \nIf you are not already subscribed\, subscription is free and you will receive joining details and news about forthcoming Leading Edge meetings https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-leading-edge/
