Female Murder Rates Uk
34 Answers
While it is hugely regrettable that there has been yet another female murder victim in the UK it behoves anyone concerned about the issue to look at facts, the rates, the gender imbalance, comparisons with other countries and comparison with our own past.

I've seen her original speech in the HoL and her explanation of why she said it.
I think when she said it she meant it and then on reflection spun it because it was ridiculous. Before she claimed it was her intention to make people think and create discussion, she said it was because she was fatigued.

OK. I'll spell it out if others are incapable of using Google. Very few people are the victims of murder in the UK, thankfully. Very few of the very few are women. My point is that we should put things into perspective and there's something unsettling about the Sarah bandwagon. As for what has happened this evening, it's a symptom of what I am trying to describe. The protesters were wrong in their unlawful behaviour and the police didn't handle themselves particularly well. No need for this at all. Histrionics and knee-jerk reactions that don't serve what should be dignified and persuasive contribution to a legitimate discussion. Anyone remember discussion, rather than attacking the police?
Im just fed up with the whole issue.
30% of murders are women. So 70% of murders are men%.
Why, oh why has this murder been treated any differently to others. Because the murderer was a police officer! It got more media coverage. All murders whether to men or women are awful. Murders are happening all the time, and men are just as vulnerable or more vulnerable perhaps to be the victim of a murder by someone stronger or nastier than themselves. We all need to protect ourselves as best we can. We simply can't have a set of rules for women or for men. I am in my seventies, have led an eventful life, particularly in my younger days. I was aware of keeping myself as safe as possible, but I never considered that men should be seen as a possible threat. There are threats to all groups of people. That is what life is all about. It can't be policed. Women want equality, but this seems to be all about labelling men as a possible danger.
And what happened last night was dreadful. Dreadful that these protesters decided to do exactly what they wanted and ignore the safety of others (from possible Covid).
