Violence against women and girls has reached epidemic levels and police are treating it as a threat on the same scale as terrorism, Britain’s police chiefs said Tuesday.
More than 1 million violent crimes against women and girls were recorded by U.K. police in 2022 to 2023, accounting for one-fifth of all recorded crime, a new report commissioned by the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the College of Policing said.
One in every six murders was related to domestic abuse in the same period. At least one in every 12 women each year will be a victim of crimes including sexual offenses, rape, stalking, harassment or online sexual abuse, the report estimated, with the exact number thought to be much higher because of crimes that go unreported.

Well if the UK can stop participating in bombing the shit out of the Middle East you don’t have to deal with migrants.
They’d still come.
The question is whether the rate of immigrants will reduce if you don’t bomb their home out of existence.
No that’s what you want the thread to turn into.
Domestic violence is about 4 orders of magnitude more prevalent than terrorism, you porcine shitsticks.
Oh, the irony of the police “warning” us (hint: they play a large part in the violence, both directly themselves, and by enabling others).
Also:
TL;DR:
So what’s being said here is that in the USA cops unofficially endorse violence against black people, while in the UK the police unofficially endorse violence against women.
Which kind of shows that it may not be a local culture issue, but more of a modern police approach problem. The WAY we go about a police system is fundamentally broken. Because there is no way you’d want to live in an anarchistic state, with NO police. At the same time THESE police have got to go.

Let me get this straight. You want to put the power back into the hands of men to freely beat their wives, and the only deterant is OTHER men, who can also freely beat their wives might stop them???
You realize that right now the UK is already dealing with this problem of violence against women, and the police are having trouble keeping up over there.
And now you want to remove the ONLY deterant for that type of behavior?

Because in the current system, women are free to call the police, get care and housing to escape domestic abuse, and they arrest the man. In the UK, I’m hearing the amount of women calling is overwhelming the system, and more men beat their wives than police can arrest…but that just means that they ARE arresting them as quickly as they can. They just have an amount of liquid thats more than their cup can hold.
In your scenario, you’re saying take the cup away, and everyone’s on their own with there the liquid falls. Which in my estimation will only increase the amount of domestic abuse without ANY precautions in place.
Right now, we have a system that can’t keep up with demand. In your system, we IGNORE the demand.

I really agree with the sentiment of the bottom post, but grammatically it just doesn’t feel right to me. If two men kill two women each, then “how many women are killed by men” is 4, but “how many men kill women” is just 2. Maybe “how many women men kill”?
This is just really pedantic tho, the most important part is that femicides get treated more seriously
This is just really pedantic tho,
It really fucking is, and you’re clearly aware it is, and yet, here we are!
the most important part is that femicides get treated more seriously
So how about you do just that? You do realise that you are perfectly capable of just keeping this kind of unhelpful bullshit to yourself, right? Because I honestly doubt anyone gives a shit if a poster made by a charity already taking femicide more seriously “doesn’t feel right” to you, a person clearly more concerned with the artificial construct that is grammer than with the content. The only thing your reply has contributed to the conversation is to derail it. Well done.
No need to so hostile. I’m a woman myself and acutely aware of the sexist reporting when it comes to femicides. I’m also involved in protests and, as I stated, I think that something is being done to change the reporting is more important than the exact detail how. I also care about precise language, however, and I just offered a phrasing that I think keeps the same exact message, while being harder to misinterpret and frame wrongly by our enemies. We’re not on opposite sides here.
The police should get their house in order then they might actually be able to do something.
