Police engagement with women survey, a chance to feedback

[Enough4me]

I saw this advertised on Twitter:

www.homeofficesurveys.homeoffice.gov.uk/s/HQN4MK/?s=09

There is already a post asking if a survey will be set up for males, but the point is that females struggle to find protection from males and with selfID the situation will get worse. Women are not even protected from rape in women's prisons.

I thought this may be a useful link for women to honestly share their experiences (NB. This is not a link to log an offense, but to feedback about the experience of police engagement).

It partially links with the thread about campaigning for sex as well as gender to be recorded when sexual crimes take place:

Completed and signed!

Well that was cathartic 😆😆😆

I have so much to say about the fucking police.

I'll do it later.

Done. Ah that felt good!

Done! Thank you. I don't know if anything will come of it but we have yo keep pushing for change.

Done!

Done

Well, thank you for posting that.

A real palate cleanser.

Three dead women a week, week in and week out; rape is effectively legal; if I am convicted I get state sanctioned rape by a trans woman; and they want to know how they can improve services? Dunno mate, no one cares if we die in droves, been happening for 4000 years and if you haven't figured it out yet then I'm fucked if I know.

pmk

Thanks

Signed the petition. How can anyone justify sex not bring recorded for crimes?

I've got a million things to say on s range of topics.

My force is the met I think that says it all.

S major point for me is 'minor' sex offences like flashing being of zero interest even though it's been known for decades these men escalate.

Doing it.

It's poorly written.

I have had multiple experiences of men flashing etc. Only reported one.

The answers don't allow multiple options.

Humph.

Makes it difficult

Is wanking at you

Sexual violence
Or
Harrassment
?

There's no obvious category for all the creepy pervy weirdy stuff :/

That's telling isn't it.

Didn't think of it,/ not interested/ too trivial to include

Well I doubt that they will like my response as I was brutally honest with them and the truth often hurts

I focused on not being interested in 'trivial' offences/ not linking patterns/ ignoring the fact that's been known for decades that they escalate.

That if this was sorted loads of dangerous men would be off the streets.

Sarah everard would not have been killed. Or the girl who was murdered by the bloke who had a string of convictions for sex offences.

I'm so angry.

Sexual harassment of female staff is a widespread problem in the police. Bullying of staff is routine.

Think they should put their own house in order first, really.

Bumping as it's important for women to have their voice on their experience of police engagement.

Done. Nothing good to say. No faith in the police.

Good you have fed back. If the truth doesn't go back they will say they are fine as they are.

Done and I too had nothing good to say. Thanks for the link.

Happy to share. The feedback needs to be shared while there is an opportunity to highlight shortcomings.

bumping.

I have a huge respect for police officers individually. The system, though, is sexist.

Three dead women a week, murdered by men and rape is effectively legal and yet we don't have a huge push on sorting out male violence which really needs to have a foundation of good policing to make it work as they understand the causes of male violence because it's their bread and butter.

It's not rocket science, but if the law is not enforced then women die. Simple as that. And we are dying in droves. So, it's good this survey is being done, but, I didn't report any of my sexual assaults and I'm not sure I'd encourage my daughter or mother or friends to report if they were assaulted either. If I can't get a female forensic officer then why would I?
