Met Police Review Finds Failures in Protecting Women and Children from Predators.

A review of London's Metropolitan Police has found that the force has allowed predatory behavior to flourish within its ranks and failed to protect members of the public from abuse, as well as its own female staff. The report accused the organization of perpetuating a misogynistic, sexist, racist, and homophobic internal culture. The review also revealed a culture of bullying and discrimination was “baked into the system,” with 22% of officers saying they had personally been bullied, leaving frontline officers demoralized and feeling let down by their leaders.
