📢 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.

Withholding maintenance or paying unreliably is a common form of post-separation abuse causing short & long-term economic harm to victim-survivors & their children. Change is needed to ensure the CMS pursue non-payment & helps lift children out of poverty. thetimes.co.uk/article/2e3851…

Embedding preventative culture change into organisations is critical.

Sport clubs must create opportunities for learning and reflection so everyone, especially men, knows to challenge harmful attitudes and behaviours before violence happens.

The tragic death of Rachel McDaid must be a reminder to us all to do everything to challenge perpetrators of abuse & to support those who are survivors of domestic abuse. Our hearts go out to Rachel's family and friends. If you are experiencing abuse, please reach out to us.

New article published with HomicideStudies. I explore the involvement of #perpetrators in #domestichomicidereviews , either directly or by proxy via their families. Available open access here👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10… 1/7

I welcome moves to make it easier for police to issue stalking orders.

Early intervention is key to protect victims.

Too often, the bigger picture is missed, with a focus on isolated incidents instead of the pattern of abuse.

I hope new guidelines will improve the response.
