CA Prop 1 has lots of problems, but it passed. Whether that's for good or bad now comes down to implementation. In @latimes, I argue that simply adding $$ and beds is not a real plan. Poorly delivered care can backfire. So how do we get this right? š§µ.

I've used @Mad_In_America's thought-provoking podcasts in my Sociology of Mental Illness class, so what a pleasure to be a guest! . We tackle Prop 1, homelessness, and what I call the Frankenstein's monster of civil libertarianism and austerity. thanks @justinkarterphd.
On our #podcast, Neil Gong @NeilMGong and Justin Karter @justinkarterphd discuss Neilās new book āSons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics: Mental Illness and Homelessness in Los Angelesā. #homelessness #mentalhealth.

thanks @PeterMoskos for this chat on public order, harm reduction, & making our social control institutions better. Plus a plug for ethnography: nothing gets us beyond our ideological comfort zone and theoretical priors like fieldwork.
I have a new podcast episode! (Yeah, it's been a while.) Because I read a really great book. So I reached out to the author. And here we are chatting for an hour like smart people. Ain't podcasts great? .It's not about policing. It is police adjacent.

Big thanks to @KerisWithaK for having me on the podcast! I and my students have learned so much from her over the years. Check it out for a deep dive into the politics of mental health in CA, and how inequality shapes recovery.
š Pod drop! š¤ @NeilMGong author of "Sons, Daughters and Sidewalk Psychotics: Mental Illness and Homelessness in Los Angeles," speaks about his book, the provocative titles and why we view some people as problems to be solved instead of full humans to be loved and supported.
