Women’s views on the policing of rape, domestic violence and stalking across the North East and Cumbria
These infographics by Dr Nicole Westmarland of Durham University, show women do not think the police take rape, domestic violence and stalking as seriously as they should do.
The study, funded by the Foundation, asked a general sample of 577 women in the North East and Cumbria about their perceptions of the police in relation to these crimes, whether they would report them or not and their reasons. Women in all four police areas of the region – Northumbria, Cleveland, Durham and Cumbria – said rape, domestic violence and stalking were extremely serious but many women were reluctant to report these crimes to the police if they happened to them.
