Editorial: The Guardian

  • The report by Lady Elish Angiolini indicates that Wayne Couzens' background should have prevented him from ever becoming a police officer.
  • Several warning signs about Couzens were ignored by three police forces.
  • Sarah Everard's murder has shattered public trust in the police.
  • The report warns against treating Couzens as an anomaly, as his crimes exist on a wider spectrum of sexist and misogynistic behaviour.
  • The criminal justice system fails women daily and the police will not change unless the government makes them do so.

Conclusion: Lady Elish Angiolini's report highlights the dangerous threat individuals like Couzens pose within law enforcement institutions and the pressing need for effective management and timely changes.
