Encouraging to see our research on non-fatal strangulation laws cited in the @parliament.scot #VAWG debate, noting US legislation has made strangulation a serious stand-alone criminal offence, which has been linked to reduced intimate partner homicide rates.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summersβ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.
