How can the police win back the trust of women? - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

A former serving officer with the Metropolitan Police, Wayne Couzens, has been given a whole-life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing the marketing executive, Sarah Everard, in March. Scotland Yard says hundreds of officers will start patrolling public places in London where women have reported feeling unsafe, while those officers working in plain clothes will now be deployed in pairs. The Met has also instructed them to be "understanding and tolerant" when their actions are questioned.

The Shadow Domestic Violence and Safeguarding Minister, Jess Phillips, and the Minister for Crime and Policing, Kit Malthouse, speak to Mishal Husain after hearing the perspectives of women on the streets of London.

Mishal also gets the opinions of the Labour police and crime commissioner for Northumbria, Kim McGuinness, and former Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Met, Brian Paddick.
