No one should have to fear harassment whilst participating in sports or exercise.
We call on the new government to commit to introduce new legislation to criminalise third-party #harassment.

Crime can have a huge impact on you, mentally and physically. Everyone reacts differently, but a lot of people feel strong emotions – especially soon after crime. My Support Space has a guide to help work through #DifficultEmotions in a healthy way. mysupportspace.org.uk

I share @CommissionerDA's concerns: accurate data is essential; good policy rests on real numbers.
But this is about more than just columns in a spreadsheet. It's also about safeguarding each and every survivor.
Without a clear picture of offending, we risk failing victims.
📢 My analysis today shows nearly 18,000 domestic abuse crimes are missing from police statistics - after police were instructed to count fewer crimes.
Administrative ease must never come before accurate recording of domestic abuse.

1. The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021- a thread.
There’s been lots of misinformation abt the Act's imminent commencement; especially re misgendering being prosecuted as a “stirring up of hatred” offence. Here are some points of clarification about the provisions

Is it possible to reliably compare crime rates across the developed world’s largest cities? Actually, it’s harder than you might think, but for interesting reasons.
A thread for nerds 🤓…
