I know many of you will know Dr Emily Cooper (criminographer): if, like me, you still have a Twitter/X account but never use it, please consider making an exception to send her and Darren your love, support, prayers - whatever you want to offer.

It’s a huge issue in Scotland - Glasgow in particular. Much needed policy in my view.
