    The Merseyside Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) scheme is promoted in the Home Office's Review of Effective Practice in Responding to Prostitution and resulted in: a 400% increase the number of women willing to give full details when reporting criminals to the police; 83% of those charged with offences against prostitutes being convicted; and 95% of the women involved, exiting prostitution.

Will you look in to the options for implementing the Merseyside Independent Sexual Violence Adviser scheme (ISCA) scheme across London?

  • Policing In London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2011
    Good morning Commissioner. From my own point of view I was quite happy to see we have a Commissioner that will be on the front line. From your letters I have read through and your comments today, a no nonsense gentleman in charge of our police force. I have two questions I would like to put to you. I was going to ask them after the next question but I think they are more appropriate now as much as the next question to follow. According to a poll that has been carried out, 72% of Londoners believe the Metropolitan Police...

    • Question by: Andrew Boff

  • FOI Requests

    • Reference: 2010/0172-1
    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    We have been both surprised and alarmed at the response to no less than three FOI requests to the Metropolitan Police. Each case was a violent incident, and the FOI request was for police to issue a description of the attackers: the response stated that "to issue a description of the perpetrators would not be in the public interest". This reasoning defies logic - how can it be in the public interest not to disclose details of a person or a gang perpetrating violence? How can the Met be protecting the public by leaving residents of a given area at...

    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    Could the Commissioner share with me how the protocols have changed recently with regard to the publishing of the images of street prostitutes on the internet?

  • Evidence based review of resource allocation (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    I would like to continue on the aspect of public confidence. Recently I have made - on three occasions and I am quite surprised and alarmed by the results - freedom of information requests (FOIs) to the Metropolitan Police Service. Each of those related to violent incidents. I had asked for the description of the attackers, person or persons involved. The reply has come back. One example is with Thomas Hewitt [Thomas Hewitt Jones, a man attacked in Dulwich in July 2010]. Two comments come back. One is that to issue a description of the perpetrators would not be in...
