Asked @DerbysPolice for their definition of ‘woman’ and been sent a link to this. Don’t think it will answer my question. But it’s interesting nonetheless. What are the Top Ten threats they face?

Odd isn’t it. ‘Gender hate’ doesn’t feature.

this is how the Top Threats are going to be tackled. ‘Preventing, fighting and investigating crime’ is surely all you need and should be number 1?

And this is just weird. Of course the police mustn’t be rude or unkind. But they aren’t therapists or counsellors.

Whereas ‘preventing crime’ gets only half a page.

Is what we are seeing the wholesale rebranding of the police? From crime fighters to community mediators? And this explains the new obsessive focus on people who cause offence to others?

Needless to say the document didn’t answer my questions.

I want to know how this force defines ‘gender’ and ‘woman’ for its ‘gender hate incidents’ and I want to know if they record people as ‘victim’ and ‘Suspect’.
