NICE guidelines on the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder

I recently wrote to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) asking for their guidance on the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). They responded and (recognising that only a minority of the followers of this blog have an interest in the issue of AUD) I’ve posted a piece on my website Men Stop Drinking.

Michael Mosbacher: “We should be putting more women in prison, not letting them all out.”

Our thanks to Graham for this piece in yesterday’s Telegraph (£). The start of the piece:

“Send fewer women to prison. That’s the consensus across the political spectrum. It is part of Andy Burnham’s plan to free up prison places for men. The Conservatives have said they are sympathetic and even Colin Sutton, Reform’s newly elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk, advocates it. Needless to say, prison reform charities are all in favour.

Apparently enough women could safely be released to repurpose HMP Bronzefield, England’s largest women’s prison housing over 500, for male offenders.

As with anything that has become an unquestioned truth, the idea that we are locking up too many women needs to be interrogated. A strong case can be made for the opposite position: that too few women are serving custodial sentences.

There are over 87,000 prisoners in England and Wales, but only around 4 per cent or 3,500 of these are women. This is a dramatic change from times past.

According to House of Commons figures, in 1900 17 per cent of prisoners were women.”

Unfortunately I cannot leave comments because I’ve been banned permanently for breaching “community guidelines”, probably by posting pro-life comments. So I would invite followers of this blog to post comments, including a mention of the gender bias in prison sentencing being covered at length in William Collins’s The Empathy Gap. Thank you.

Woman arrested after four men stabbed in Covent Garden

This BBC link is live, being updated as new information comes in. It is believed the woman used a large pair of scissors to stab the men, both The Times and The Telegraph – not yet the BBC, surprisingly, but it won’t take them long – are reporting it as a ‘mental health-related incident’.
