@Roslyn_6780@BraedenSorbo@Askrigg_lad First degree murder isn’t a thing in the uk. Manslaughter is added to every murder trial where intent is argued - so an offender doesn’t automatically walk if found not guilty of murder.
@gmhales@Steve_Russell81 Rules changed in April 2020 so that any course of conduct offence between victim and former partner were recorded as stalking unless FCR deemed harassment only (I’d expect rarely they get to FCR for review). There is a helpful HMICFRS exert I’ll see if I can find
@gmhales@Steve_Russell81 Also there was an huge amount of training work undertaken by forces following living in fear report in 2017 so identification likely improved in addition. I expect this is main reason why it hasn’t dropped off since double counting removed in 2023
@JinjerlyN17@Jamie50R@kanefromthelane He is right though. And it’ll take a while to teach the system. Not a manger I’d have brought in for a relegation battle when results are needed straight away
@Dickrjr@GauciReports The AG has to have input on anytime that offence is charged. It is literally required by legislation it has to be approved by the AG
@LucyTCWife It’s a charge that can only proceed with the consent from the AG. I expect given you’d admitted to the offence that took roughly zero reading and consideration of the facts of the case to rubber stamp the decision.
@FestAKINBUSOYE Shoplifting has been summary only for offences under £200 since the 1980s. Tories put out further guidance in 2014 which pushed it more towards police decision making for charging / out of court disposal but there has not been a bar as such on dealing with shoplifting under £200
@ColumbiadCannon But presenting a small number of examples as representative of all and then extrapolating out is just as unhelpful. It is still a false narrative. It might be more balanced - but it’s still based on not really understanding the data and its limitations and passing off as fact.
@ColumbiadCannon They wouldn’t sit only there though. A number would sit under grossly offensive. The data in relation to public post or via dm also isn’t collected - which was why I asked where you got it from. I’m all for correcting the flase narrative - but yours is also false unfortunately
@LSTK1967@Mr_Andrew_Fox@grok Gronk hasn’t got a clue - as no one does. There are 12k arrest for those offences. But those offences also include for example when ex-partners send threatening messages to their exs via WhatsApp / text / email. The ones which are solely online to all are completely unknown.
@Brightonian_ Indeed. Would assume Milner won’t go another year so this very much fills the ‘ageing squad player who is a fantastic leadership character’ gap.
@AndyFriend88@pwl1279@sophielouisecc That isn’t relevant to any of the policy decisions yesterday though… so yes, fair point, but you could say the same of someone on 49k and 20k too.
