Appointing a Solicitor
Guide to some of the factors people use when appointing a Solicitor...link
A recent report undertaken by two watchdogs found that of the 112 recent cases looked into none were dealt with as they should have been, and concluded that both the police and the prosecution services failed in their performance, both have subsequently pledged to improve their performance.
The report highlights four key areas
• The need for the law to be reviewed
• Clearly defined offences
• Improved risk assessment
• Expanding the coverage of court orders.
Stalking and harassment are crimes covered under the Protection from Harassment Act of 1997, if you feel you are a victim you need to report it as soon as possible and it is good advice to document all incidences to help the police, look after yourself by checking your own security arrangements at your home, talk to people close to you for support, where possible avoid being on your own and change your routine where possible and as often as possible.
The Suzy Lamplugh Trust run the National Stalking Helpline 0808 802 0300 providing support and advice whenever you need it.
The report, whilst it raises serious concerns, can only lead to improvements, do not be put off at any stage, report all incidences.
The police will be taking action to improve awareness within the force to the powers available, and the prosecution service will be undertaking a program of mandatory training for all prosecutors.
The existing performance by the police and prosecution service is unacceptable, available powers are available and must be used to stop perpetrators as soon as possible, if the law needs greater clarity then the Act needs to be reviewed.
It’s hoped that the report leads to a greater focus by those services relied on by victims for support and future monitoring is essential to ensure standards are maintained.
