That’s nice.
Can police start believeing women who tell them they feel they are in danger, and do something about it before someone kills them, now?
Only if they’re rich.
I think this is the bigger problem, actually. It could have prevented a number of femicides.
For real.
The law in a lot of places does not allow police to do anything to help someone, before their life has already been risked.
Unfortunately the first attempt on someone’s life can be just as lethal as a hypothetical second.
