A joint inspection found that crimes of harassment and stalking were often missed or misunderstood by both the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). As a result, inspectors found cases where offenders were allowed to continue their persecution of victims, or victims were not protected with the powers in place to prevent this kind of personal and persistent crime. Then when you have to live this fear of the Police not preventing your abuse, often supporting the abuser, albeit sometimes unwittingly through lack of understanding, the complaints system is not fit for purpose so you cannot get anywhere, this is why we all need to sign and promote this petition today! https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/news/news-feed/victims-of-harassment-and-stalking-left-at-risk-by-the-police-and-crown-prosecution-service/
