> London police officers have told the BBC that police need to stop criminalising women involved in street sex work following the disastrous Simon Levy murder case. Levy, a convicted sex offender, was able to kill two women and rape another after a series of failings, including by the Metropolitan Police. All three were vulnerable and sometimes engaged in street sex work. The BBC visited the Met’s new two-officer female team in north London, set up to engage with women.
