Do Police and Crime Commissioners work for women and girls? →

July 11, 2019 Guest User

A new Briefing Paper published by EVAW today (11 July) finds that the 42 Police and Crime Commissioners’ response to domestic violence, sexual violence and other forms of violence against women and girls is “haphazard” and unreliable, combined with worrying denial about the fact that these crimes are widespread and very disproportionately affect women and girls.

The new End Violence Against Women Coalition briefing, ‘England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioners: Are they working for women and girls?’, is based on a review of the 42 England and Wales PCCs’ Police and Crime Plans – the strategic document which PCCs are required to produce after consultation and assessment of local policing needs.

It finds that the devolution of police priority setting to PCCs has led to a very significant divergence from the national policy framework in this area, which for almost a decade has recognised the need for a prominent and joined up response to all forms of violence against women and girls – a major part of everyday policing work.
