Excited to finally be presenting some of my research to @cassppr.bsky.social colleagues this afternoon - looking at the prevalence of reported sexual crimes against children (what’s reported, how old they are, and what happens after reporting) tough subject but very necessary. #DerbyUni #Criminology
