🚨New article co-authored with @Matt_B_Tyler published today: We say we care about victim-survivors of violence and yet we jail them as kids. We need a fundamental shift away from punitive approaches & towards therapeutic responses grounded in the needs of children & young

Does Australia have a problem with child welfare in child focused sectors? Early childcare. Out of home care. Juvenile justice. Youth detention. Why do we keep seeing breaches of basic standards across child-focused settings? https://t.co/4KJtGEfZax

Melissa Clarke has been a daily breath of fresh air on Radio National (with Sally Sara), and now on Insiders. Beats Speers's insights hands down.
Melissa Clarke's final observation on #insiders gives viewers a proper insiders peek regarding Dutton's predetermination on the North-West Shelf gas project, calling it apprehended bias and opening the door on possible legal action Can we please have her back on, soon

My new paper is “The Autumn of the White Patriarch: Identity and Inequality in American Capitalism.” This is the key chart. It shows how white men’s share of national income has fallen since the 1960s. Imho, this is why we have such identity politics on the US right today. 1/10

"Moral panic" theory has been the dominant framing around child sexual abuse in the social sciences and humanities for over a generation, leaving these disciplines unprepared to account for the scale of child sexual exploitation and abuse as the evidence becomes undeniable.
I'm finding this very, very frustrating. I'm not getting at @DrEllaC or Prof Jay here. In fact I admire them for finally revealing to the public a profound truth in the midst of the current child abuse scandal. Thank you both for admitting that criminologists and crime scientists

A huge contrast between the attention to the sexual exploitation of children in care in the UK for over a decade - a national scandal - and the comparative silence and disinterest in Australia.
On “grooming gangs” Starmer changed the guidance so police were now required to investigate the suspect & not focus entirely on the credibility of the victim He told the police to introduce the word “believe” into their interaction with victims - you believe them,then investigate

In my article for the November @THEMONTHLY issue I reflect on: 🔸the challenges of measuring progress against the National Plan to end Violence against Women & Children, 🔸the need for improved data, including on people who use violence, 🔸the need to ensure sexual violence

According to the ACCC, over 500 products. Coles and Woolworths could soon find themselves in the political crosshairs. If I were a politician, I'd go after them relentlessly because the public will be out for blood. Graphic source: Fairfax.

Australia is failing its children. A ‘tough on crime’ approach to youth #justice puts politics before prevention (via @GuardianAus):

A child in youth detention told me something that echoed the pleas of many others: ‘We need help way earlier’

Jim Cole @AilecsLab: Last year, the US govt put $54 billion into anti-drug trafficking efforts and $200 million into online child protection - indicative of the lack of prioritising and resourcing of child safety.
