For the past four years I’ve documented systemic failures within the Justice System England and Wales.
What I have is of “Public Interest” but finding anyone brave enough to question the establishment impossible!
Can anyone help?
@SpeechUnion
@jamiemroberton This is happening everywhere. And it doesn’t get mentioned enough. Suicide rates for victims of DA has increased.
The risk is compounded if a victim reports abuse and the police fail to investigate properly or follow safeguarding procedures, that failure is not neutral.
@Fhamiltontimes Accountability for harm caused to victims of crime is non existent. The £300 + an hour fees to question the ones meant to protect victims, is unattainable. Justice isn’t equal, it’s bought. It’s time to take the blind fold off of “Lady Justice” she’s being gaslit!
@thecrimeanalyst Exactly this. They’ll either blame the DASH model or do everything possible to defend their own actions.
There is no excuse for professionals who fail victims, because of a lack of training.
Additionally, there aren’t any consequences for professionals who fail victims.
But without trauma informed training, officer accountability, and real cultural change, it remains a meaningless piece of paper.
Shift your focus from scapegoating a form to demanding urgent investment in officer training, specialist support, and genuine reform @thecrimeanalyst

This is pure smoke and mirrors. Blaming DASH, an often unused, tick box form, for systemic failings is deflection at its worst.
The real issue isn’t the tool. It’s that thousands of police officers across the country still haven’t received proper training
"The UK’s main domestic abuse risk assessment tool is not fit for purpose"
The government could soon scrap DASH – the UK’s main risk assessment tool for domestic abuse, after mounting evidence shows it has repeatedly failed to identify high-risk cases.

in coercive control or domestic abuse, especially in forces like Wiltshire, where training only began in 2023, eight years after coercive control was criminalised and two years after the Domestic Abuse Act changed.
If DASH was properly used, as it should be, it could help.
@nataliepage@thecrimeanalyst 2/2 are still not trained in DA Matters training. With certain forces such as @wiltshirepolice, waiting until 2023 to train, 8 years after CCB was added. @jessphillips speak to victims, how many were even asked the questions on the DASH. https://t.co/THqkxFjsJO
It’s not the tools
@nataliepage 1/2 @thecrimeanalyst I feel this is just another excuse for agencies failures. The BBC wrote recently regarding 2 victims of abuse, both victims provided evidence of abuse and both forces have failed to gather or withheld the evidence from the CPS.
1000’s of police officers are
@Goldstandardlaw@DrEmmaKatz@PoliceScotland @CC_Livingstone Absolutely, so many victims are feeling let down by the people who claim, in social media campaigns, that they are there to protect them 🙁
