As Victims' Commissioner, my inbox is full of victims' accounts of anti-social behaviour. They tell me they feel ignored, passed from pillar to post and need help. The #VictimsBill must provide them with better support. Thank you to @GMB and @susannareid100 for highlighting.

🚨 Latest figures show 27% of criminal cases get postponed on the day of trial. 📈 Up from previous quarter and continuing a worrying, long-term trend. ⏳ This means added delay and uncertainty for victims, amid a record Crown Court backlog. ⚠️ We owe it victims to do better.

Grateful to @estheraddley for shining a light on some of the issues faced by male stalking survivors, following @netflix 's #BabyReindeer . Male or female, victims need protection, support — and justice. Help is available. Contact the National Stalking Helpline ☎️ 0808 802 0300.

I share @CommissionerDA 's concerns: accurate data is essential; good policy rests on real numbers. But this is about more than just columns in a spreadsheet. It's also about safeguarding each and every survivor. Without a clear picture of offending, we risk failing victims.

📢 My analysis today shows nearly 18,000 domestic abuse crimes are missing from police statistics - after police were instructed to count fewer crimes. Administrative ease must never come before accurate recording of domestic abuse. My statement:

Well put by @VictimSupport at @BBCr4today 's anti-social behaviour debate: 💬 "Bring the victim's voice to the fore and listen." Anti-social behaviour ruins lives. Victims need support but they face a post-code lottery when trying to access it. This needs to change. #R4Today

Our justice system too often adopts a 'one-size-fits all' approach to justice. But what if we could find more solutions tailored to individual and community needs? A pleasure to speak at #StMaryConf24 today and discuss how to deliver a system that serves the needs of all.

I welcome moves to make it easier for police to issue stalking orders. Early intervention is key to protect victims. Too often, the bigger picture is missed, with a focus on isolated incidents instead of the pattern of abuse. I hope new guidelines will improve the response.
