Part 2/14:
In Surrey, England, police have launched controversial undercover operations where female officers disguised as joggers patrol known harassment hotspots. Their mission: to catch men alleged to engage in catcalling and verbal harassment. Since the initiative's inception, 18 arrests have been reported for offenses ranging from harassment to sexual assault and theft. The police justify this effort as a progressive step toward tackling violence against women and girls, tying these arrests to a new legal framework—the pending Public Sexual Harassment Act passed in 2023—that aims to criminalize such behaviors.
