‘It’s taken a shaming to force the Met Police into action against men who abuse women’

Polly Hudson asks why a plan to use counter-terrorism tactics against abusers feels like too little, far too late

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but in this case it’s hard not to be furious that they’re only ­setting off on it now.

London’s woeful Metropolitan Police have announced they’ve started using counter-terrorism tactics to catch the 100 worst predators against women. Sorry, male , predators. Didn’t need to clarify that really though, did I.

The Cambridge Crime Harm Index – previously only used for organised crime and terrorism – is now gathering data on men recently convicted of domestic assault, rape, stalking, sex offences and harassment to rank those who pose the highest risk.

No one mentions what happens to lucky number 101 and beyond. Close but no cigar, off you go, do try and be a good boy now won’t you?
