The Metropolitan Police's pilot project using data has led to the arrest and conviction of 24 of London's worst predators suspected of crimes against women and girls, within six months.
The V100 project ranks suspects based on seriousness using the Cambridge Crime Harm Index, enabling targeted apprehension processes similar to counter-terrorism or serious crime investigations.
Commander Ben Russell emphasized the importance of targeting suspected criminals through covert tactics, aiming to remove them from the streets, utilizing the full force of the Met in apprehending offenders.
Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Craggs highlighted the V100 project's success in targeting domestic offenders, often involved in additional crimes like drugs or organized crime, who may pose challenges for prosecution due to victim struggles.
