5 Live has been given exclusive access to the first recorded figures by a UK police force of misogynistic hate crime. Melanie Jeffs, manager of Nottingham Women's Centre, helped to launch the campaign to record misogyny as a hate crime. She said: “When we started this work back last year women just genuinely had no idea they could ring the police and make a report. We can do more to raise awareness and give them the confidence to come forward.” Only 21 incidents have been reported to Nottinghamshire Police since they started recording it in April, even though official figures show sex offences and domestic violence are at record levels. “This sends a clear message that this kind of behaviour and these attitudes are not going to be tolerated in Nottinghamshire, regardless of the figures at this stage, I think the police stance is really bold” Melanie added.
