Campaigners say victims are being let down by the police who are failing to identify offenders.

Campaigners have launched a super-complaint against the police over their approach to stalking.

The consortium, made up of 21 expert individuals and organisations, argues that police are failing to identify patterns of behaviour and often treat incidents as lower level crimes such as malicious communications or criminal damage. She added that she hoped the super-complaint would lead to recommendations being brought in to improve the police response to stalking.

He added that there needed to be better training in place for police officers to spot the signs of stalking, as well as a change in mindset of how dangerous stalking can be."We've got to have police training that means they do the right thing when they spot a stalking case, follow it up in the right way.
