“Soteria is a start, it’s a signal of hope.”But “we need to keep going”, take a truly “end to end” perspective on justice, and learn how to prevent sexual violence from happening in the first place. My views in Alexandra Topping analysis piece The Guardian 👇 theguardian.com/law/2024/mar/1…

'You need to understand the way sexual offending works and then you need to look for it, because it's there.'

Criminologist Betsy Stanko says that a better understanding of sexual abuse is needed among police officers to improve outcomes for victims. #Newsnight
