3,000 UK police officers receive specialized training in investigating rape and sexual offences, aiming to improve victim support and bring more perpetrators to justice.
Thousands of UK police officers have received specialist training in investigating rape and sexual offences, in a bid to overhaul how such cases are handled. The Home Secretary has called this a "significant milestone" and vowed to put more sex offenders behind bars. The training aims to improve support for victims and bring more perpetrators to justice. It follows claims that rape had effectively become "decriminalised", which Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, rejected, instead insisting that improvements had been made in police probes.
