"A compelling & comprehensive argument demonstrating the urgent need for a transformational shift in police investigative procedures to hold men who rape accountable when they victimise women." You can see this at British Society of Criminology Conference 2024 on the Routledge stand. routledge.com/Policing-Rape-…
Richly deserved by the outstanding Sophie Naftalin ! Can’t overstate the significance of Sophie’s wins in the Kellie Sutton inquest as a watershed moment in the recognition of domestic abuse related suicide as femicide, and holding police forces to account for their failings.
Nothing short of transformational change will do to fix the criminal justice response to sexual violences. Determined to make my contribution Ministry of Justice Shabana Mahmood MP - it can be done 💪
The storm about the policing of rape and other sexual offences has been brewing for years. #DigestedRead of a piece by @BetsyTwicks and Professor Katrin Hohl OBE politicalquarterly.org.uk/blog/in-the-ey…
Fantastic exchange today with the always insightful, passionate Victims’ Commissioner London on how we can make the criminal justice process fairer and less traumatic for rape survivors.
Here’s Professor Katrin Hohl OBE at #BSC2024 with her groundbreaking book with @BetsyTwicks, Policing Rape, available #OpenAccess. #criminology #policing taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/…
I had forgotten all about the email I sent Jamie Klingler before I met her. Jamie asked my permission to publish it now, and I agreed - because it contains an important slice of what I have learnt from 15+ years working and friendship with @BetsyTwicks
Excited to be speaking at Women's Aid conference today about what can be learnt from Op Soteria for the police response to domestic abuse #FestivalOfWomensAid
Feeling inspired and hopeful for change after today’s session at Snaresbrook Crown Court with survivors and judges. Thank you to the survivors for sharing their experiences, challenge, questions and ideas and Victims’ Commissioner London for inviting me along.
How police treat victims of rape and sexual offences has life-changing consequences for victims. The ownership of transformation is in the hands of the police force. #DigestedRead of a piece by Betsy Stanko and Professor Katrin Hohl OBE politicalquarterly.org.uk/blog/in-the-ey…
NEW: Operation Soteria shows progress in transforming how the police investigate rape, but there's still a long way to go. Now is a pivotal time for this work - it must be turbocharged & met with the resources it needs if we are to see justice for victims endviolenceagainstwomen.org.uk/soteria-shows-…
Delighted to be working with Victims & VAWG Minister Alex Davies-Jones MP on her mission to make the justice system part of the solution for halving VAWG. Too many rape victims experience the justice system as part of the problem - this must and can change.
Delighted to have been part of the Vulnerability & Policing Futures Research Centre first annual conference and to hear about the centre’s research and engagement with practice
The scale of police perpetrated domestic abuse is sobering - and current police misconduct and oversight procedures are toothless. What will it take to change this? Important new Centre for Women's Justice report out today 👇
