The horrific crimes deemed the biggest threat to women and girls in Greater Manchester right now
They are the horrific crimes that pose the most danger to women and girls living in Greater Manchester right now.
The Strategic Threat and Risk Assessment has been handed to police forces across the UK, with confidential intelligence about the risks posed to women and girls. Over a two-year period between 2019 and 2020, the M.E.N reported on eleven cases where women were killed at the hands of men in Greater Manchester - many of whom were either partners or ex-partners.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that during their eight-month relationship, Mannion had committed several assaults on her. Just two days before her murder, he stabbed her in the chest. The M.E.N reported earlier this year that rape victims were being failed by the Criminal Justice System as just 2.4 per cent of completed cases resulted in a charge or summons.
Detective Superintendent James Faulkner, GMP's tactical lead for Violence Against Women and Girls, described the STRA as an 'important moment,' as he committed the force to tackling the issue. But some campaigners have warned that police forces have a long way to go in rebuilding trust within communities - particularly in the wake of the Wayne Couzens and David Carrick cases, and the Casey review of the Metropolitan Police, which found the force 'institutionally misogynist, racist and homophobic.'
The force's Chief Constable, Stephen Watson, has consistently promised to 'root out and boot out' police officers who are found guilty of sexual misconduct and gender-based violence. "It is important that violence against women and girls has been recognised as a strategic policing threat, however, Women’s Aid will hold forces to account for these promises: we need concrete action, not just rhetoric."
"I won't and I know other leaders won't be shying away from asking those difficult questions. Every piece of review work has shown that police forces could do more when it comes to taking these crimes seriously. I don't think GMP are exempt from that which is why I'm welcoming that they are at the forefront of welcoming national changes to policing.
