Bradford has a significant problem with people in cars for a whole host of reasons, abusing females (running or otherwise) is only a part of it. I would imagine this contributes to a greater picture in terms of Operation Steerside to try and manage all kinds of antisocial behaviour relating to vehicles. Those engaging in this type of behaviour I’d think are also more likely to engage in dangerous parking, speeding, running lights etc as a pattern of behaviour.
As a Bradford resident I’m very curious indeed as to where they’ve been carrying this out.
