You carry it and it’s with you day in day out. Day in day out. And you breathe it, and … it’s in the back of your mind all the time, ‘What is he going to do? What are we going to find … Who’s going to come knocking at our door?’” Stalking victim This is the first time that Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate have inspected and reported on the police service’s and Crown Prosecution Service’s approach to tackling crimes of harassment and stalking. Harassment and stalking crimes are damaging and pervade all sections of society. They can devastate lives and in some cases they end in death. In a digital world, they are crimes that can take place all too easily and frequently. They may be high-profile crimes and often gain the attention of the media when they affect public figures. However, the criminal justice system has a responsibility to all victims whatever the apparent level of seriousness of the actions complained about. Much has been done by government in recent years to try to improve how the criminal justice system tackles stalking in particular. Our inspection shows that actions taken have had mixed success. We now need to consider what more can be done to prevent crimes of harassment and stalking, to protect victims and to bring perpetrators to justice. We would like to record our very great appreciation for the contribution made to our work by the many victims and their representatives throughout this inspection. We are grateful for the work of our expert reference group and also undertaken on our behalf by the University of Worcester, assisted by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust.1 We would like the voice of the victim to be heard through the content of this report. This report must be a catalyst for change and improvement: in some cases victims’ lives will depend on it. 1 For more information about the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, see: www.suzylamplugh.org/ 4 UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 00.01 ON WEDNESDAY 5 JULY 2017 Summary “And you realise … people who are under this kind of stress on a … on a daily basis sometimes, I can understand how suicides occur. Because people feel that they don’t know where to turn.” Stalking victim In 2016/17, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate conducted a joint inspection of how the police and the Crown Prosecution Service tackle crimes of harassment and stalking. This report sets out our findings, and makes a series of recommendations aimed at improving police and CPS practice and therefore the service provided to victims. Background Harassment and stalking Harassment and stalking are crimes of persistence. It is the unrelenting repeat behaviour by the perpetrator experienced in its totality, which seems inescapable and inevitable, that has such a detrimental effect on the victim. The actions in themselves may seem unremarkable, and this may partly explain why some victims suffer repeat behaviour over a prolonged period before reporting it to police,2 or do not report it at all. Harassment and stalking can often also be crimes of control. This is particularly the case when the victimisation is associated with a current or previous controlling and coercive relationship. A report by Dr Lorraine Sheridan and the Network for Surviving Stalking, in which 829 victims of stalking were surveyed, found that the victims were aged between 10 and 73. Men and women from all backgrounds were affected and many were professionals (38 percent). Dr Sheridan concluded that almost anyone can become a victim of stalking.3 2 Paper on Key findings from the www.stalkingsurvey.com, L. Sheridan, 2005. Data quoted in Introduction to stalking, risk & advocacy, Home Office, undated. Available from www.data.gov.uk The findings state that 70 percent of victims do not report to the police until the hundredth incident. 3 Paper on Key findings from the www.stalkingsurvey.com, L. Sheridan, 2005. Data quoted in Introduction to stalking, risk & advocacy, Home Office, undated. Available from www.data.gov.uk 5 UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 00.01 ON WEDNESDAY 5 JULY 2017 In this inspection, we used the term stalking for behaviour that constituted harassment and where the perpetrator appeared to be fixated and/or obsessed with another.4 Legislation Under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, it is an offence for a person to pursue a course of conduct that amounts to harassment of another individual, and that they know (or ought to know) amounts to harassment.5 The Act defines harassment and states: “References to harassing a person include alarming the person or causing the person distress.”6 A ‘course of conduct’ in the case of harassment of a single person must involve conduct on at least two occasions. The course of conduct in relation to two or more persons means conduct on at least one occasion in relation to each of those persons.7 Before the introduction of stalking legislation, there was debate about the need to define stalking specifically in law.8 One concern raised was that being too prescriptive might limit unduly the application of the offence. As a result, section 2A(3) of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 instead gives examples of behaviours associated with stalking "in particular circumstances" (without detailing what these are). The list is not exhaustive but gives an indication of the types of behaviour that may be displayed in a stalking offence. Section 2A(2) of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 specifies when a person’s course of conduct amounts

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) carried out an inspection of all 43 police forces in England and Wales in Spring 2011, to see how they were planning to meet this financial challenge. When the results were published in July 2011 (search for ‘Valuing the Police’ on www.hmic.gov.uk), we committed to returning one year later to report on progress, and to assess whether there had been any impact on the service provided to the public.

  • HIGH LEVEL FRAUD Before Becoming the Police and Crime
    HIGH LEVEL FRAUD Before becoming the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Thames Valley, one of the UK’s largest police forces, I had served worldwide as an Army Officer, worked in intelligence and been a Managing Director of an aircraft manufacturing company with aircraft in 120 countries. I did not expect that as a PCC much would shock me, I was wrong. The scale of corruption within at least four major UK banks, aided and abetted by their legal advisors, auditors and accountants has been on a massive scale. Fraud is usually complicated, but the basics of this were simple. Profitable companies and farms with assets or loss making companies with assets that far exceeded their loans from a bank would be targeted. The company loans would be transferred to a branch that purported to specialise in company restructuring. Its sole purpose was to make as much money as possible for the bank and its corrupt managers by liquidating the company. They would grossly underestimate the value of the assets, sell them at far less than actual value, recoup the loan, share the profits of the resale at proper value amongst their cohorts and then go for the personal guarantees of the company owners. Often this would be done through documentation that had been altered and signatures forged. The bank would regain far more than the original loan and those that assisted made fortunes. The victims lost everything. The amount of money involved runs to over £100Bn. There has been little effort or enthusiasm by the many regulatory authorities, notably the Bank of England, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to either stop these frauds or bring the perpetrators to justice.

  • Tackling Vehicle Crime in Portsmouth, England Operation Cobra
    TACKLING VEHICLE CRIME IN PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND OPERATION COBRA HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY, PORTSMOUTH BASIC COMMAND UNIT, 2004 THE PROBLEM: From April 2002 to March 2003, vehicle crime in Portsmouth, England increased 16 percent. Strategies in place, much of it focused on offender detection and generic crime prevention, were not working. A Crime Reduction Officer/Analyst reviewed 9 months of data (in the past only several weeks were reviewed at a time to determine patterns) uncovering more robust patterns: 1989 to 1998 vehicles were the most at risk, items stolen did not have property markings so resale was easy, vehicle crime concentrated in many repeat locations, in fact 49 percent of vehicle crimes occurred in just 167 of Portsmouth’s 1,600 streets. ANALYSIS: The Crime Reduction Officer/Analyst identified eight underlying conditions contributing to the high level of vehicle crimes. These conditions if turned around could significantly reduce vehicle crime in Portsmouth. RESPONSE: Engaging a wide variety of partners, including the media, the group developed Operation Cobra. It relied on a graded or tiered approach to reducing auto theft; different strategies were applied depending upon the level of vehicle crime on a street. Streets with 5 to 7 vehicle crimes used a victim-focused strategy (such as customized warnings and property marking). Those with 8 to 10 vehicle crimes focused on victims but incorporated environmental and situational changes to the location. Streets with 11 or more vehicle crimes focused on victim and location but also

    POLICY GUIDANCE ON SUPPORT TO POLICING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Ian Clegg, Robert Hunt and Jim Whetton November 2000 Centre for Development Studies University of Wales, Swansea Swansea SA2 8PP [email protected] http://www.swansea.ac.uk/cds ISBN 0 906250 617 Policy Guidance on Support to Policing in Developing Countries ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are grateful for the support of the Department for International Development, (DFID), London, who funded this work for the benefit of developing/ transitional countries. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily of DFID. It was initially submitted to DFID in November 1999 as a contribution to their policy deliberations on Safety, Security and Accessible Justice. It is now being published more widely in order to make it available to countries and agencies wishing to strengthen programmes in this field. At the same time, DFID are publishing their general policy statement on SSAJ, (DFID, 2000). Our work contributes to the background material for that statement. We are also most grateful to the authors of the specially commissioned papers included as Annexes to this report, and to the police advisers and technical cooperation officers who contributed to the survey reported in Annex B. It will be obvious in the text how much we are indebted to them all. This report is the joint responsibility of the three authors. However, Ian Clegg and Jim Whetton of CDS, University of Wales, Swansea, would like to express personal thanks to co-author Robert Hunt, OBE, QPM, former Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, London, for contributing his immense practical experience of policing and for analysing the survey reported in Annex B.

  • Economic Development
    Phone 0161 604 7711 Email [email protected] Rt Hon Mike Penning MP Via email 15 September 2015 Dear Mike, I am writing in response to the recently issued ‘Consultation on reform of police funding’. The outcome of this consultation is critical for the sustainability of the modern police service and one which we must get right. I did write to the Home Secretary on 24 July requesting further information and was disappointed not to receive a response or the requested exemplifications. This lack of information coupled with the short consultation time scales and the timing of the release over the summer, while Parliament is in recess, has prevented me from making an informed response thus undermining the consultation process. I would be grateful if you would consider issuing the exemplifications requested and re-starting the consultation process to allow for an informed and transparent exchange with those in the police service to take place. In the absence of exemplifications I have asked my office to calculate the potential impact of the proposed model on Greater Manchester Police using the data sources quoted in the consultation document. Our best estimates show that Greater Manchester Police would lose £52m (12.7%) per annum under the proposed model. Other police areas have estimated losses of up to 20% and, when coupled with the impact of the impending Spending Review, cuts at these levels could call in to question the viability of a sustainable policing service in Greater Manchester and other areas. Furthermore, I note that the combined impact of cuts that will impact on demand on policing from the Spending Review to the Home Office and other Government departments has not been addressed in these proposals.

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).
