This week I attended Civil Service Live in London where I was a panel member; title of the panel discussion was ‘How a strong evidence and science ecosystem can help us improve public service delivery, be more innovative and do more (even with less).’Female criminality is one of the important phenomena in popular media and also in academic discourse of contemporary scholastic arena like sociology, criminology, psychology and anthropology. The changing nature of female’s roles in capitalist system instigate female more to involve in violent and property crimes. The main intent of the study is to review the major theories of female criminality such as masculinization, opportunity, marginalization and chivalry. The authors also tried to shed light on the acceptability and validity of female criminality theories on female criminal activities. This study mainly relies on secondary sources. Data have been collected from journal articles, books, research reports, government documents and so on. Among the theories of masculinization, opportunity, marginalization and chivalry; marginalization theory is the most relevant and significant for analyzing causes of female criminality in contemporary third world societies. On the other hand, masculinities and opportunities theories are sometimes partially applicable to predict criminality of women in first world countries. I spent five-and-a-half years at the Home Office, but this time was sadlynegative. It was completely different from my experience in the private sector, and I didn't have anybody helping me navigate that landscape. A tip I always give to my mentees is this: don't take no for an answer. Allow yourself to feel down fora few days, but bring yourself up, reach out to your support networks, and keep pushing. You have to persevere. If I gave up on my dream to become a Director, I would not have this job to look forward to. insights into how you can use science and evidence to deliver your role and realise benefits for the public. To all those who were at the event and who are currently on my LinkedIn network please can you share the following with those who I am unable to connect with and reach:

She traveled to Edinburgh to speak about key themes from her book, Hook of Hope, where she was able to draw upon her own personal experience of why education is so close to her heart. Having fought determinately for her own education, she considered it an absolute honor to share with the team about how what they do directly impacts young people and how powerful it is to be a part of their journey of self-development and growth. Her talk followed an introduction to the importance of their work from the Scotland's Minister for Education. Sharing her story allowed Nurjahan to demonstrate how education played a positive role in her own leadership journey - with the aim to increase the team's understanding of lived experience in informing their work and identifying the work culture the team wants within their own Directorate. When you believe in yourself, you dare to know that you belong to that space. Even though people are not inviting me to the table, I don't need it because I will build a table and bring people in.Growing up in the 1980s, Nurjahan Khatun is a daughter of immigrants who came to the UK in hopes of being able to provide for their family, locally and abroad. Growing up in this environment, it was the norm for women and girls to remain silent, ask no questions, and do as they are told. Nurjahan was taught to do what pleased her family, and to remain a well-mannered, and well-cultured daughter. She played that role initially but, after a while, she realized it went against everything she felt and believed. We see each attempt that Nurjahan makes to raise her voice...to be heard. Hook of Hope explores these moments and more as we learn about her journey. I've been running a homeless soup kitchen for 15 years, inspired by the time I was homeless and lived on the streets of London for 21 months. Thank you for the opportunity to have a conversation with you all at a time where it is so needed to help make the #civilservice even more inclusive and welcoming to all. I am sorry I did not get a chance to speak to you all so do reach out to me here, connect with me and stay in touch; Readers will discover the resilience and strength it takes to find oneself. We will see Nurjahan hook on to hope, as she finds her true and authentic self.

EDUCATION IS A BLESSING: Last week I was at a residential learning week at Oxford University Said Business School through the Major Projects Leadership Academy (MPLA). This was the second time me and my cohort of amazing individuals from across government came together to spend a whole week of learning. Thank you to our amazing chair Jason Dewhurst and my fellow panel members Christophe Prince and James Cooke for an informative and interactive session.Department of Criminology and Police Science, Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University, Tangail, Bangladesh.
