One can discard doctor’s advice against alcohol abuse and unhealthy eating, it’s their own choice. But it’s doctor’s professional and moral responsibility to advise. The same applies to city planning. One can argue driving is their lifestyle, but it’s planner’s professional and moral responsibility to make communities more walkable, bikeabke and transit friendly, for the physical and financial healths of the dwellers and their community. #planning #strongtowns

👉 App stores will no longer be able to neglect their responsibilities to help keep our children safe online thanks to an integral amendment to the Online Safety Bill passed by the UK Government yesterday. For too long, the inaction of app stores in preventing children from accessing age-restricted content and services has gone unchecked. App stores go as far as to actively advertise these services to children, by branding them as “17+”, despite explicit objections from developers including Match Group. This campaign, backed by cross-party policymakers; children’s charities like Barnardo's and the NSPCC; and industry stakeholders like Snap Inc., as well as first-class consultants like Leon Cook at Atticus Partners's will strengthen the UK’s online safety regime by finally holding app stores to account for their role in keeping users safe online. Match Group commends the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology for introducing these vital amendments that will help ensure the Online Safety Bill makes the UK the safest place in the world to be online We would also like to express our gratitude to Baroness dido harding, whose determined efforts championing this cause in Parliament have helped change the course of regulation of the digital world for the better. Baroness Harding speech on the Amendment can be watched here: https://lnkd.in/extZrSir from 21:43:15. The votes on the relevant amendment sections (236A and 236B) can found in the same video at 22:06:20.

With “more mobile, connected” youth gangs responsible for “an escalation in the harm that they can cause to the community and themselves”, Victoria Police has launched a new holistic and integrated approach to detect those most at risk of gang activity, divert them from gang involvement, and disrupt the gang-related violent offending that has been taking place, as Policing Insight’s Sarah Gibbons reports. ❝It’s hoped that individuals at risk of falling into gang activities will be caught at a young age and diverted away from criminality by engaging with community support schemes offering alternative pathways.❞ ❝The factors that lead to youth gang behaviour and offending are complex, spanning social, economic, and environmental issues. Youth gangs are often the result of social marginalisation, fragmented family structures or economic hardship.❞ - Deputy Commissioner Rick Nugent, Victoria Police ❝We must take a holistic view in responding to youth gangs – what may appear to be anti-social behaviour or opportunistic offending can sometimes be a precursor to a rapid escalation into serious criminal activity.❞ - Victoria Police Youth Gang Strategy ❝We will focus on deepening our intelligence and analysis capability and on developing intelligence sharing procedures that are timely, reduce duplication of effort, and enable targeting of inter-regional and inter-divisional offending by youth gangs.❞ - Victoria Police Youth Gang Strategy [SUBSCRIBER ARTICLE] https://lnkd.in/eubZCn_9 #lawenforcement #policng #police #crime #gangs
