These brilliant women, led by @helenpankhurst.bsky.social, connected last night to drive the change needed for a gender equal Parliament by 2028. @centenaryaction.bsky.social are campaigning to make it a reality. Donate here donate.careinternational.org.uk/page/Centena... #equality #inclusion

If interested, give @bright-ideas.bsky.social a follow or let me know if you'd like to help shape this thing 🙏🏻

Right, that's it, I'm doing another hackathon.

New research: Summer employment programmes for young people reduced violence by 36%. There are only a few studies on the impact of summer jobs, but we summarise their effects in the YEF Toolkit. #youngpeople #violence #evidencesynthesis youthendowmentfund.org.uk/toolkit/summ...

Our new report focuses on disproportionality in the youth justice system, particularly for Black children. They make up 6% of the population but account for 28% of those in youth custody. Download our report where we outline 5 recommendations for the government. Learn more: https://buff.ly/4hDmkv1

Sandi Toksvig made us all laugh, pointing out that this suffragette poster is printed on a tea towel... A great evening spent with supporters of Centenary Action, run by the fantastic @helenpankhurst.bsky.social Mission: #GenderEqualParliament by 2028. @centenaryaction.bsky.social

Day 11 #16DaysofActivism - read this blog by @ljknight.bsky.social of @youthendowmentfund.org.uk which includes the impact of programmes for young people causing harm. The @respectuk.bsky.social Young People's Programme responds to this very issue #CAPVA youthendowmentfund.org.uk/preventing-v... 👇🏾

Latest report on the YEF survey of 10,000 teenage children in Eng&Wales: - 49% of children in relationships experienced violent or controlling behaviours. - 20% have been pressured into sexual acts they didn’t want. - 19% have been hit, kicked or shoved. youthendowmentfund.org.uk/reports/chil...

What is more energising than a room full of women (and some men) marking 16 days of activism against gender-based violence?! Jess Phillips, MP, & Rt Hon Anneliese Dodds MP, reminded us that it IS possible to halve #VAWG. I am a teeny tiny cog in a complex system, but I am hopeful.

I wrote a blog in recognition of the international day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls (#VAWG). I am both angry about the scale of violence against girls, & hopeful about the potential for interventions to reduce it. Read it here youthendowmentfund.org.uk/preventing-v...

Saddened to hear about the death of Professor David Farrington. His work inspired so many of us in criminology, and he contributed a lot to the YEF Toolkit reviewing evidence on violence prevention. Nice tribute here from Graham Towl. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Custody aftercare and resettlement programmes on average have a moderate impact on reducing #violence, reducing convictions by 14%. However, evidence is mixed and 6 studies show an increase in custody rates. Quality implementation is important (as always). youthendowmentfund.org.uk/toolkit/cust...

This stuff is just amazing! notebooklm.google.com/notebook/10b... I've presented this paper easily 10 different times, nowhere have I come close to explaining it half as well as AI does it here. Hard not to see how part of my job has become completely obsolete. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New from Aiden S, Spencer Chainey, Iain Agar and me. Inspired by the 55 steps guide, this is a goodie bag of things we think a crime analyst working on violent crime needs to know www.college.police.uk/guidance/pro...

The College of Policing is asking for expert views on the use of data and technology (including but not limited to AI) in policing. A tight deadline to reply, though: 11 October.

Job alert! Research Fellow in Spatial Inequality. A great opportunity to work with a fantastic research team (Fran Pontin, Vikki Houlden and Anna Barker) utilising Open Data to enhance park safety for women and girls in Bradford jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

Does exclusion from school cause later violent offending? New preprint from me and Rosie Cornish. Usual caveats that this hasn't been peer reviewed yet. osf.io/preprints/so...

It has been a little while since I got to a hackathon... Would anybody like to come form a little team with me at the next NHS Hack Day? (12-13 Oct, London) 💻🩺💓 👉 nhshackday.com/events/2024/...

We summarised the evidence on the effectiveness of #stopsearch on preventing #violence involving children and young people. - Very weak evidence showing small reductions in crime in the UK and moderate reductions in the US - Lots more info in the strand: youthendowmentfund.org.uk/toolkit/stop...

Spent today interrogating our YEF Toolkit + pondering balancing accurate summaries of complicated research, with actually helping commissioners make decisions on how to prevent #violence. Super fun!! No really 😃 Thanks to partners at the National Children's Bureau and the Race Equality Foundation

I have made a #Criminology starter pack listing criminologists who are based in the UK – colleagues to follow on here. Will add to it as more suggestions come in and newcomers arrive on Bluesky. Centres on those of us working in academia. #AcademicSky go.bsky.app/8sCM5VZ

A common problem when performing evidence synthesis is that popular risk of bias tools don’t precisely suit the kind of studies you’re synthesizing. The LATITUDES network is a searchable library of risk of bias tools categorized by study design www.jclinepi.com/article/S089...

The real test of Bluesky as the new old twitter - Can I find a new contract? I'm available soon for content design and strategy work with accessibility and service design sprinkled on top. Re (tweets?) appreciated!

📣 We have an exciting new role in our evidence and research team - Senior Research Manager for Policing and Youth Justice. Share with anyone who might be interested. Visit our website for more information and for details on how to apply: buff.ly/3N27dy4
