The United Kingdom will establish investigation units dedicated to handling rape and sexual offences across all police forces in England and Wales. This initiative is part of a broader strategy aimed at addressing violence against women and girls (VAWG).
In addition to the creation of these specialized units, the UK government plans to implement a network of undercover officers tasked with targeting online offenders. This move is intended to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement in combating sexual crimes and improving the safety of women and girls in the country.
The announcement reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen the response to sexual violence and ensure that victims receive the necessary support and justice. The initiative aligns with previous reports on the need for improved measures to tackle such offences.
