The recent conviction of two 12-year-old boys for the machete killing of 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai is a stark reminder of the urgent need for effective youth intervention and robust community safety measures. This horrifying incident raises critical questions about how we can better support our young people to prevent such tragedies. It’s essential to address the root causes of youth violence and ensure our communities are safe for everyone.

Contact local law enforcement immediately for help.

Did you know that 95% of domestic abuse cases ❗ do not ❗ end in a conviction? The criminal justice system is failing survivors of abuse, over and over again. But we have a solution – and evidence to show that it really works. Over 10 years ago, in collaboration with our sister organisation Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse, we developed the Whole Justice Approach to improve support for survivors and, ultimately, increase prosecution and conviction rates. Since we started implementing this approach through the Impact Project with Hammersmith & Fulham Council, we’ve seen:  ✔️ 51% increase in arrests leading to charges  ✔️ 100% increase in the use of restraining orders  ✔️ 34% increase in convictions in domestic abuse cases We’re now campaigning for every survivor of domestic abuse to have access to this kind of support. Help us spread the word by sharing this post and reading our report #HerStoryHerJustice ✊ https://lnkd.in/eA-3jMdW
