About Ruth Jacobs
In the Booth with Ruth – Robert Wuagneux, Singer, Songwriter & Musician
Strange Voo Doo is about self–discovery. It is the coming face to face with the past choices one has made and how those choices have led to certain consequences. Discovering self-love is freedom from convention. In the bridge of the tune the singer realizes that self-discovery has freed him from those self-imposed[...]
In the Booth with Ruth – Michael Bradley, Author
I was an abused child and escaped from reality by reading. I started reading encyclopedia at age four. I have read at least a book a week since I was twelve, and probably close to 5,000 at this point. I have always wanted to be a writer, but adults discouraged me and I went into various fields. Finally, at age forty-seven, I retired on my savings and started writing full time on April 1, 2011.
In the Booth with Ruth – Barbra Dean, Author

However, I knew I had a flair for writing so I began to do some copywriting for them. From there I got onto SHE magazine as Assistant Fashion Editor, and I continued writing for the local...
Is it only physical violence against women that we don’t tolerate?
Originally posted on What Can I Do About It?:
(Image courtesy of http://southafrica.ihollaback.org/page/2/) I’ve been struggling to understand why hate crime against women is treated differently to hate crime against other groups. Two examples: the Sentencing Council proposed in their public consultation that gender-based hate was excluded as a culpability factor in sexual offences. And…

In the Booth with Ruth – Allen Miles, Author
I don’t have a formal writing background at all really. I come from Hull, which isn’t known for its literary talents. I started writing at a very early age but I never told anyone. For some reason I was always quite ashamed that I held ambitions other than “Thou Shalt Work at Reckitts or Smith and Nephew”. I read a lot as a child and I was quite insular. I spent...

In the Booth with Ruth – Rosie Campbell OBE, Former Coordinator of Armistead Street & Portside Sex Work Projects
In Liverpool, over the last ten years, I have worked in a climate and ethos that is progressive in relation to crimes against sex workers, where the police have been committed in increasing confidence amongst sex workers in the police and as part of that introduced the sex work and hate crime policy.

Free the IRP-6 – Wrongfully Convicted and Sentenced to Prison for a Crime They Didn’t Commit

Dr. Alan Bean, Executive Director of Friends of Justice, has partnered with A Just Cause to look into the wrongful conviction of six executives who ran a software development company. If investigated thoroughly, it’s not difficult to see that the IRP-6 were railroaded...
In the Booth with Ruth – Josh Evans, Author, Screenwriter, Filmmaker & Actor
I’ve written a lot of biographies for the screen: Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur and Che Guevara. The Che Guevara screenplay became a film that I directed. But as a new novelist, I’ve found that I am compelled to write fiction – it’s liberating to be able to finally write thoughts instead of having to show them as visuals.
In the Booth with Ruth – Shelly Stoops, Former Specialist ISVA for Sex Workers, Armistead Street Project, Liverpool
The women I have worked with here in Merseyside now have a great level of trust in Merseyside Police. That has been the result of massive amounts of trust building from the women themselves, the ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor) and sex work project. So in the beginning, women would do Ugly Mug reports if they were attacked and wouldn’t dream of going to the police. Now, they will ring 999 just like any other victim would which is a direct result of the partnership.
