"It is essential first responders are equipped to spot, identify and act on domestic abuse — and police have the necessary tools to keep victims safe", says Baroness Newlove.

Commenting on The Centre for Women's Justice's (CWJ) new report, Baroness Newlove said that failures highlighted in the report mean valuable opportunities to identify and root out abusers are not being grasped.

Baroness Newlove has said it is "regrettable" that some victims have been left unaware of the early release of their offender.

Baroness Newlove: "Although this report focuses on London, I suspect similar issues plague police forces nationwide, making many of these recommendations relevant on a national level."

Baroness Newlove calls for government to develop robust strategies to tackle tech-enabled VAWG, such as AI deepfakes.

Too many victims of crime are still being let down by police who are failing to get the basics right, the chief inspector of constabulary has said in his annual report.

Baroness Newlove: “These findings are truly concerning.”

Baroness Newlove: "The justice system faces immense pressure, demanding difficult choices. Yet, victim safety must never be compromised."

Baroness Newlove: "No victim should be expected to wait years before their case gets to court. As we can see from the victim attrition statistics, justice delayed all too often is becoming justice denied."
