Lots of media reporting on this, I recommend reading the actual report👇Both sides of the coin:An inspection of how the police and National Crime Agency consider vulnerable people who are both victims and offenders in ‘county lines’ drug offending -HMICFRS justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/public…
“it would be better to track all the various ways in which people can be vulnerable..rather than considering county lines separately...people can be vulnerable in many ways simultaneously..& can face many forms of exploitation– physical,emotional,financial or sexual” @FLDMissing
I’m also particularly interested in:
Home Office should carry out a review of the quality&extent of information sharing by public bodies for law enforcement purposes&clarify the legal position&identify opportunities to
address the cultural, systemic, procedural, etc barriers

The point about the unintended consequcnes of statutory defences is also highlighted. This is a complex issues, which requires skill/training to unpick to just a blanket response
This recommendation Id love to be involved in”by 31 Dec20, College of Policing, in consultation with the NPCC, should develop..evidence-based guidelines addressing risk assessments for vulnerable people..so that risk assessment practice is improved across all forces”
