Today I publish the London Victim Attrition Review — a landmark study exposing why so many victims disengage from the justice system. The findings are stark: the system is failing victims. We cannot accept this status quo. Victims deserve better.

The introduction of a legal definition of honour-based abuse is a landmark step in protecting victims. Alongside new guidance and training, this will help ensure these abhorrent crimes are consistently recognised, investigated and perpetrators are brought to justice.

It’s clear from this case that the @CICAgov compensation scheme hasn’t kept up with the law. The crime was prosecuted here, and yet the victim isn’t eligible for compensation. Govt should use the Victims & Courts Bill to close this loophole.

This letter speaks for countless frontline support organisations - many facing existential crisis. Even amid tight finances, we cannot deprioritise this vital support. Without it, we will see even more victims withdrawing from the process, and offenders left to act with impunity.

We should all be very concerned by the incidents described in this article and the surge in antisemitism. World events can never be used to justify such hatred. Police and CPS must act swiftly, holding offenders to account and ensuring victims feel safe

Almost 1/3rd of Crown Court trials in London don't take place on the day scheduled, and this is just one example why. While Leveson's reforms are urgently needed, small inefficiencies have a big impact on victims, and this needs the scrutiny of an independent courts inspectorate.

Sentencing hearing for sexual assaults on children is derailed because a solicitor submitted a report late, 10 minutes before the hearing was due to start. Court assembled, 20 ppl including dad of a victim are here. 6-week adjournment. This kind of blunder should carry a penalty.

I’ve long called for robust exclusion zones that put victims’ safety and freedom first. I welcome today’s announcement and hope it marks a shift: it must be offenders who face restrictions- not their victims.

The latest @CST_UK report shows worryingly high levels of antisemitic hate crime, the second- highest total ever recorded. Antisemitism has no place in London or anywhere in the UK. Police and CPS must act robustly to restore confidence among victims and the Jewish community.

I urge everyone to listen to Violet's experience and hear the impact of ‘cruel’ court delays on victims. Just last week I was made aware of a rape case going to court in 2030. With 40% of victims withdrawing from justice, we need urgent reform now.

Pleased to see progress on stalking training & new tools to assess risk, but improvements must be judged by implementation, not just intention. Victims still face inconsistent responses - especially for victims of non-DA stalking. I echo @live_life_safe calls for continued action.

My Victim Attrition Review showed that 40% of victims withdraw from justice (69% of rape victims). One thing is clear: the justice system is not working. Leveson's proposals are a significant change, but we can no longer tinker around the edges while the justice system fails.

I welcome this announcement-a change I called for in my London Stalking Review. Stalking Protection Orders can provide early intervention and protection. Now we need urgent measures so these orders can be applied swiftly, whilst a victim waits for justice.

For many victims of stalking, every day means living on edge, bracing for the next violation of their privacy and safety. That’s why we’re widening the use of Stalking Protection Orders to address perpetrators’ behaviours and protect victims at the earliest opportunity.
