Yesterday Justice Secretary Alex Chalk KC MP Ministry of Justice brought into force reforms to domestic homicide sentencing recommended by the Wade Review. These important changes will ensure coercive control is better understood in sentencing, helping to bring perpetrators to justice.

Our new Women's Aid report shows the clear link between online misogynistic (*Andrew Tate*) content and attitudes towards domestic abuse for children and young people. This is serious and needs to be understood and addressed.

Please read and share.

1k messages and voicemails in a month is #stalking . It is vital that these behaviours are recognised and responded to. We have been repeatedly told since Alice's murder that the army has taken steps to improve. Clearly there is more work to be done.

Fascinating talks Bridget Harris Demelza Katy Brookfield on #technology #DomesticAbuse & #homicide
My takeaways:
1) who & how of #data creation matter
2) intention behind tech use 🔑 to ID care vs control
3) wielding our godlike tech only getting worse for #VAWG
#ECDV2023

Im Vorfeld von #Femizid spielt offenbar #DigitaleGewalt (technology facilitated abuse) oft eine markante Rolle - aber sie wird bei Untersuchungen oft nicht systematisch erfasst und als Risikofaktor häufig übersehen, zeigt die aktuelle Forschung von Demelza auf der #ECDV2023

What a timely #TechAbuse panel at #ECDV2023 :
'Smart Abuse: The Implication of smart, #Internet -connected devices on Intimate Partner Violence'
With Megan Emily Johnstone Andi Brown Dr Freya McLachlan, Chaired by Sahana Sarkar
#GIoT #IoT #TFGBV #OGBV #VAWG

At #ECDV2023 this morning, our session explores safety, risk & homicide in the context of #tech -facilitated #domesticviolence , with Demelza Dana Cuomo Katy Brookfield

I'll present ARC DECRA research on 'justice' responses & outline a #DigitalCoerciveControl toolkit

Catching up on my #ECDV2023 tweeting (X-ing?) at the airport. Thrilled to have chaired this fantastic panel in Safety, Risk, and Homicide in tech-enabled DV. Bridget Harris , Katy Brookfield , Demelza and Dana Cuomo’s work pioneers key considerations for policy & practice.

Incredibly topical publication!

A shame about clashing talk times, but so exciting to see fellow researchers as intrigued by this work as I am!
Leonie Tanczer (@[email protected]) and the incredible undertaking of defining tech abuse beyond the barriers of language, towards a global approach.

The Commissioner has been listening to communities & victims, and improving key areas like rape charging rates. But more must be done to invest in officers' training and support - both for investigations and victim care - and to root out bad officers. standard.co.uk/news/london/me…

#iVAMHN seminar at #ECDV2023 on #intervention #development + #adaptation in #LMICs : Dr Alexis Palfreyman + Dr Sharli Paphitis from VAMHSA on supporting healing of survivors of violence in #SouthAsia

A fantastic presentation yesterday from Jess on tech abuse and protection orders! A stark reminder the gaps that seem so vast in the UK are systemic problems worldwide.

We shouldn't ask victim-survivors to speak unless we are ready to radically listen. To truly centre lived experience requires a willingness to be informed & guided by vs & sharing power

Thank you to JUSTICE for this new report which highlights concerns about Part Three of #VictimsBill and the disapplication of section 3 of the human rights act. Hope Alex Chalk KC MP and Ministry of Justice are looking at substantial reforms to this misguided part of the Bill

Really appreciate John Devaney’s flagging that the #DFV #DomesticAbuse sector is mostly female, underpaid, under-resourced, at organisations oft reliant on fixed-term grants that potentially restricting work can undertake

Key resource in combating DFV that we must protect #ECDV2023
