Now time for Nicholas Blagden! There are over 13k people in prison for sexual convictions, and 55k under investigation. The problem isn't going away, but recidivism is only 10-12% #socamru_transition

Hostility and punitiveness matters: it shapes public opinion, media and policy on sexual offences and individuals with sexual convictions - Nicholas Blagden #socamru_transition

.Nicholas Blagden is talking about licence conditions: they've become more punitive as times goes on, but there is no evidence that an excessive punitive approach works, and may even hinder rehabilitation #socamru_transition

if we want to rehabilitate people, they need to own their rehabilitation and have a stake in making it work - Nicholas Blagden #socamru_transition

We should improve wellbeing, increase social capital, reduce social isolation and strengthen protective factors in interventions. Cooking is something that ties these together! Nicholas Blagden at #socamru_transition

Being involved in good things helps to enact good identities - Nicholas Blagden in #socamru_transition

Morning! Just a reminder that our second and last Autumn Webinar is on at 5pm tomorrow - all about the wider impact in the community, from "the Knock" on the door, to stalking, and the impact of IPV on UK Muslim communities. Tickets from socamru-spectrum.eventbrite.co.uk. See you there!

Our autumn webinar has just started! First up, Nadia Wager and Lucy, talking about the impact of the 'knock' on the families of people who are arrested.

The impact of the knock on the family can cause sufficient trauma for a diagnosis of PTSD (70%). Children are present in approx 35% of cases. Nadia Wager #Ni3UK @researchisace #socamru_spectrum

There are multiple impacts of discovery of someone's offending: financial, trust, fear of media/vigilantes, social isolation, physical and mental health to name a few Nadia Wager #ni3UK @researchisace #socamru_spectrum

Lucy is describing the lived experience of people who face the knock on the door. Families of the offender are not seen as victims and do not get support to recover Nadia Wager #ni3UK @researchisace #socamru_spectrum

Katie Bell is talking now about stalking victimisation - approximately 23.5% of women and 10.5% of men are stalked for an average of 2 years. #stalking #socamru_spectrum

There are no typical victims of #stalking. Ages range from 10-73, male and female, from across the socioeconomic spectrum. Victims live "in the crime", having to constantly collect and record evidence #socamru_spectrum

There is an overlap between intimate partner violence within the relationship and stalking when the relationship ends, and associated with the most severe forms of IPV such as intimate partner homicide #stalking #socamru_spectrum

Stalking by strangers elicited more fear in victims than stalking by partners or acquaintances, and stalking, combined with violence, has an additive impact on the victim's mental health problems and sense of safety #stalking #socamru_spectrum

Covid has had an impact on stalking victimisation, because victims were more accessible and susceptible because of the covid restrictions #stalking #socamru_spectrum

Now listening to Dr Rahmanara Chowdhury, current research on domestic violence hasn't taken into account different cultures and minority populations #socamru_spectrum #DVAinMuslimCommunities
