Yee, a advocate for those with invisible disabilities, believes that more sentencing options are needed to balance justice. She fears that the prison environment can exacerbate mental health issues, leading to self-harm and suicidal tendencies. Yee emphasizes that having invisible disabilities does not excuse criminal behavior, but rather calls for alternative solutions to ensure equal access to justice for individuals with disabilities, including victims and witnesses who may struggle to advocate for themselves due to their condition.

The groups, known as 'Com networks', are estimated to involve thousands of perpetrators and victims, with reports increasing six-fold in two years. Members of these groups are often motivated by status, power, control, misogyny, or a desire for extreme material. Teenagers are being radicalised online, similar to the character in Netflix drama 'Adolescence', and becoming desensitised to brutal violence. The agency believes their crimes are significantly under-reported, with offenders targeting vulnerable individuals, such as those with eating disorders or mental health issues.

The study of over 2,500 tech workers revealed that two in five respondents left their jobs because of hardline policies imposed by employers. Many remote workers reported feeling a stronger sense of community with colleagues under flexible arrangements, and 68% would trust their employer more if they were given more leniency on work hours, intensity, and remote working. Industry burnout is a significant issue, with 73% of IT workers feeling burnt out or stressed due to heavy workloads, tight deadlines, and lack of resources.
