Women being arrested and criminalised after reporting violence and abuse, say MPs
THE All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Women in the Penal System has examined anonymised arrest data from five police forces in England and Wales as part of a major inquiry investigating what can be done to prevent women being swept into the criminal justice system.
The records, which provide detailed information on more than 640 arrests, reveal the damaging impact on police resources of women being arrested inappropriately, held in custody and released without charge. They include cases of women being arrested while showing signs of distress or when concerns had been raised about their welfare, or where they had been victims of crime themselves.
