Our very own @echrhawk.bsky.social speaking about the ECHR and recent political developments, on the BBC:

🌳Parks are essential green spaces for exercise, socialising, relaxation, but 1 in 6 UK women feel unsafe in them even in daylight. That's why @annabarker.bsky.social @suzylamplughtrust.bsky.social & @keepbritaintidy.bsky.social have launched the #StandUpAgainstStreetHarassment campaign

👏 Endorsed by #PoliceCrimePreventionInitiatives, the 2nd edition of the #SaferParks guidance was launched at the #NationalProblemSolvingConference

🎥 Michael Brooke reflects on the vital link between crime prevention and safe park design and calls for the guidance to be used to make a difference.

If there are no hiccups, I really look forward to spending part of my sabbatical next year as a Barbara Huber Senior Scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law in Freiburg, working with Ralf Poscher and other amazing colleagues in legal philosophy and public law.

What would you do if you saw harassment in your local park? 🌳

Harassment in parks and public spaces is a key safety concern for women and girls — and park staff are often the first to witness or respond.
