    A recent US survey revealed that DNA profiling and larger databases of profiles are up to 1000 times more cost effective in preventing serious offences, such as murder or rape, than having more police officers in the US.

    The MPS has lost track of more convicted child sex offenders who had signed onto the sex offenders' register than any other UK force (with 40 missing, compared to the force with the second highest number missing, which has lost seven) . The Mayor has previously led the way nationally with its approach to VAWG. Is it time for London to lead the way in changing the way they monitor convicted paedophiles?
