Dangerous criminals will be subject to the new High Harm Domestic Abuse (DA) Perpetrator Unit in Sussex. It follows government funding worth £400,000 to crack down on those who batter their partners and think they can escape the consequences. Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne says the unit will track down the “most active, dangerous and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse”. The unit will address the reasons why the thugs commit the abusive crimes. Among the new team will be detectives and those with the role of supervising criminals in the community, and they will be joined by a mental health worker from Brighton Housing Trust, a drugs and alcohol worker from the charity Change Grow Live, an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor from Worth Services, and probation-trained officers from Seetec Justice.

After five years in the doldrums, the price of natural diamonds is climbing again.
29 Jan 2021
Diamonds are starting to sparkle again, says Rachel Millard in The Daily Telegraph. The sector has been hit hard by Covid-19. The value of diamond imports to India, where the vast majority are cut and polished, collapsed from $1.5bn in February to just $1m in April. Yet prices have since recovered and the polishers are busier than ever. Diamond sellers have a Christmas sales surge to thank, say Thomas Biesheuvel and Yuliya Fedorinova on Bloomberg.
The industry had been in “the doldrums” for five years as wealthy shoppers splurged on luxury travel. Yet the virus has knocked out that competition. Still, some fear that the re-opening of the leisure industry later this year could mean the recovery proves a flash in the pan. Annual diamond jewellery sales are worth $80bn worldwide.
