The Met said a system assessing 35,000 offenders reported each year for crimes against females was being used. It follows a series of scandals and a review that found the force was racist, misogynist and homophobic. Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said: "It's taking the organised crime or terrorism approach to male predatory violence." "If we go after them proactively, build a case against them, get them off the streets, that protects women and children in London, so that's an indicator of something more innovative, more front-footed, and how we reform how we police London", Sir Mark added. The Cambridge Crime Harm Index (CCHI) is the first system that measures the seriousness of crime harm to victims, and not just the number of officially recorded crimes. It gathers data on tens of thousands of men recently convicted of domestic assault, rape, sex offences, stalking, and harassment to rank the 100 who pose the highest risk to the public. Baroness Casey was appointed to review the force's culture and standards after the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by serving police officer Wayne Couzens, in 2021. During the course of her review, another Met officer, David Carrick, was convicted of a series of rapes, sexual offences and torture of women.

Bosses say there will be an increased emphasis on neighbourhood policing in a bid to rebuild public trust. Some 240 officers out of the Met's total workforce of around 34,000 will be moved from central to local teams. There are also plans to recruit 500 more community support){kind=link}
