Welcome to Crowdwits
Tomorrow marks 13 years since Emma Fillipoff vanished from downtown Victoria, BC. For over a decade, her family has searched for answers. For over a decade, potential witnesses may have stayed silent—uncertain if what they saw mattered.
This inaugural issue is dedicated to changing that.
Crowdwits brings you criminology research and real cases, translated from academic journals into actionable insights for the communities that need them most. Each issue explores the intersection of research and reality—and what we can all do to help.
