flag A UK inquiry finds systemic data failures in tracking sexual offences, hindering efforts to combat violence against women.

flag A UK inquiry into the 2021 murder of Sarah Everard reveals a "critical failure" in collecting reliable data on sexual offences against women, particularly in public spaces, making it impossible to answer basic questions like how many women are raped by strangers annually. flag The report finds inconsistent, incomplete data across police forces, with 26% lacking specialist policies for investigating sexual crimes. flag Inquiry chair Lady Elish Angiolini criticizes underfunded and overstretched systems, calling for artificial intelligence to identify predatory behaviour and shift focus from changing women’s actions to holding offenders accountable. flag Despite violence against women being labeled a national threat, prevention efforts remain ineffective and underfunded due to lack of data. flag The inquiry supports a Good Samaritan law, inspired by the case of Zara Aleena, and highlights the ongoing grief of victims’ families.
