Why does it take the tragic death of a woman to make people sit up and pay attention to the situation?
Whatever, it is a tragedy.

What is the most common factor in the murders of both men and women?
That the murderers are men.

Has it been deliberately exaggerated to produce bad feeling toward the police, as in the case of George Floyd.
Stand by for the racist connection....

Re: Sarah Everard
Can't argue with the fact that another such crime has been committed by a bloke.That's understood, and there must be much more prevention, more police, more whatever is needed.
On the other hand, the media is hammering away at the idea that the victim is in no way at fault.
I think that needs a little consideration, as well.
Surely, we should be allowed to suggest that walking home, late at night, maybe with an expensive mobile phone, in one's hand, then taking a short cut, across a Park, etc., is an obvious build up of risks!?
Time for reminders at Schools?
1) Never walk home alone, especially after dark.
2) If walking, even as a group, avoid areas "off the main street"
3) If you do have a mobile phone, in hand, keep connected to Someone (Mum?) as you walk.
Animals have fright triggers, which might stop them taking risks, Humans need to get used to the idea that an attack is very possible & how should they prepare for it.
Many seem to assume that "It won't happen to Me"
Finally, any offender should be taken off the streets for several years, not let back out there as it is suggested that this one was.
Just an opinion!
