• Police cautions overused to hit targets, says Dyfed-Powys PCC

  A police and crime commissioner has pledged to end his officers' culture of issuing cautions for serious offences.

  Dyfed-Powys Police were more likely to give cautions than any other force in Wales or England, with 45% of serious offenders being warned not prosecuted.

  Christopher Salmon blamed "target culture" and has ordered a review.
   
  Wales' four police forces last year issued cautions for offences including assault, sexual offences, burglary and drugs trafficking and supply offences.
   
  The average rate of serious crimes dealt with by caution across Wales and England was 26% with more than 200,000 people cautioned last year.

   

  South Wales Police had the lowest rate of cautions issued with just 19% of offenders issued with one.

   

  Cautions are recorded in crime figures as detections and though not regarded as convictions they do result in a criminal record for the offender.

• WWA response to South Wales Police being investigated for handling of crimes relating to violence against women

  This comment is in response to the Guardian news story on 10th March 2013, which revealed that ‘victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and rape say they were left at risk following fundamental errors’. 

  The IPCC is conducting five investigations into South Wales Police’s handlings of VAW cases, just two years after an investigation into the deaths of four women in South Wales as a result of domestic violence. A further investigation is being conducted into a complaint from another alleged victim of domestic violence who says that details of her allegations of domestic abuse perpetrated against her by South Wales police officer partner were leaked to him by colleagues, putting her at risk.

• NGO Anti-Trafficking Forum Wales launches petition
  On the 6th April 2013, a European Directive to prevent and combat trafficking in human beings and protect victims (2011/36/EU) comes into force. If implemented fully in the UK, it could help make the fight against human trafficking more effective, and provide a much improved lifeline of protection and safety to children, women and men who have been trafficked across the UK.
  Full implementation of the Directive is widely supported and endorsed by the NGO Anti-Trafficking Forum Wales, the Cross Party Group on Human Trafficking at the National Assembly for Wales and Group of Experts on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA). It is also an opportunity that we cannot afford to miss, to ensure the protection of some of the most vulnerable people in society.If you want the UK Government to protect lives at risk and commit in full to ending human trafficking in Wales and the UK without exceptions or spin, click here to add your name to the petition.
