The Metropolitan Police's V100 initiative has successfully charged over 100 suspects involved in serious crimes against women and girls, including rape and attempted murder. Launched in 2023 after facing criticism for institutional failings, the initiative employs a scoring system to identify high-risk offenders based on the severity of their alleged crimes. With 126 charged and nearly 155 arrests made since its inception, the program aims to enhance safety for female victims and reduce violence through proactive policing.
The V100 initiative by the Metropolitan Police has charged 126 individuals with 574 offences against women and girls, significantly contributing to tackling serious crimes.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ben Russell explained that offenders accused of multiple serious crimes receive higher scores, increasing the likelihood of their arrest.
Since the launch in 2023, the V100 initiative doubled the likelihood of arrest for those considered the highest risk against women.
The initiative emerged as a response to criticisms of institutional failings within the Metropolitan Police, focusing on systematic reforms for improved safety.
