Ang Higginson presenting hate crime victimisation prevalence among young people (14-25yrs) in 🇦🇺 about the worrying impotence of bystanders in public. Bystanders doing nothing makes victims feel worse during hate speech incidents (& 16% of bystanders were perceived by victims to join in the abuse).

Fascinating talk by Jon Corcoran about scaling up Milgrim's 'familiar strangers' concept w/ transit journeys. The 'invisible ties' & 'light touch community' is associated with reduced risk of victimisation. Nice demo of guardianship! Took 8m to run the models 🤯 pandemic has since changed patterns.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Terrific story about Choose to Change - a CBT-based program for high-risk youth that was recently evaluated using an RCT. My team is eager to fund replications of this program/study elsewhere, to see if it remains effective in other contexts. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/06/05/c...

NZ Govt invest funds to deal with the growing prison population. Evidence suggests that prisons have no real effect on reoffending rates. What is needed, is offence-focused rehabilitation. Can we provide effective rehabilitation for people remanded in prison? Dr Polaschek writes for The Conversation

My energy levels have been running low as the teaching trimester nears its end, so it was nice to receive some kind words from FPSYC101 students at our last workshop today ☺️ they were such a great cohort this year! ⭐️ @waikatouniversity.bsky.social @tepunahaumaru.bsky.social

We assume that reporting to police leads to better outcomes for victims of family and sexual violence, but is that true? 👮‍♀️ We compared wellbeing outcomes for NZ Crime & Victims Survey respondents depending on whether they reported to police & found almost no differences 🧐 hdl.handle.net/10092/108247

Online abuse against politicians can dovetail into real life violence, harassment and stalking. Not just of politicians themselves but also their staff. It's important to highlight how this stuff impacts everyone around the public person too. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

Dr Amanda Turnbull discusses how ridesharing puts women into unsafe situations where their behaviour is moderated based on ratings rather than responding to the harmful situations and has become a vehicle for the growing issue of technology-facilitated gender-based violence.
