Joint call for police forces to record misogyny links to hate crime

Sheffield City Region mayor Dan Jarvis has called for police forces to record when a crime is linked to misogyny as new legislation on domestic abuse reaches its final stage in parliament.

Monday, 6th July 2020

Mr Jarvis joined with other Labour metro mayors to make the call, as the national policing adviser for hate crime said there was not a woman in public life who did not face abuse online.

An amendment put forward to the government’s Domestic Abuse Bill, which is being debated for the final time today, aims to oblige police forces to record the link, with the hope it will give clearer data on the extent of misogyny and how it is linked to abuse and violence.
