  • The mystery of the garden of memories at the Angel of the North
    DUKAS_163004970_EYE
    The mystery of the garden of memories at the Angel of the North
    Folded and unfolded notes, straggles of ribbon, artificial flowers - a professor is searching for the roots of the phenomenon.

    In a scrubby copse of alder trees near one of north-east England's busiest roads and in the shadow of one its most famous landmarks, the Angel of the North, is a spontaneous, secret garden of memories. An academic is on a mission to find out why.

    The unofficial memorial area has developed over many years but has largely gone under the radar. Most people would not have a clue it is there.

    You can walk through the trees and see photographs, folded and unfolded notes, straggles of ribbon, baubles, garlands, plastic butterflies, artificial flowers, weather-ravaged stuffed toys, empty bottles of a loved one's favourite tipple, a child's football shirt - each of them their own memory and story.

    A couple walk up towards The Angel of the North in Gateshead, tyne and Wear where people have created a memorial site and now leave objects and messages remembering loved ones in around amongst the trees below the Angel of the North.

  • Officers should use discretion over stealing to eat, says police watchdog.
    DUKAS_139295001_EYE
    Officers should use discretion over stealing to eat, says police watchdog.
    Andy Cooke, a former chief constable of Merseyside police, took over as chief inspector of constabulary last month.

    New chief inspector of constabulary says crimes of poverty should be 'dealt with in the best way possible'

    When asked how policing could avoid being seen as the arm of an uncaring state, he said forces across England and Wales were skilled in dealing with the tensions and dynamics of their communities.

    "The impact of poverty, and the impact of lack of opportunity for people, does lead to an increase in crime. There's no two ways about that," Andy Cooke said

    New chief inspector of constabulary says crimes of poverty should be 'dealt with in the best way possible'

    When asked how policing could avoid being seen as the arm of an uncaring state, he said forces across England and Wales were skilled in dealing with the tensions and dynamics of their communities.

    "The impact of poverty, and the impact of lack of opportunity for people, does lead to an increase in crime. There's no two ways about that," Andy Cooke said

    ‘Everyone wants to get involved’: inside a new police approach to tackling rape
    Operation Bluestone. Its "Al Capone" approach to catching rapists puts suspects - not victims' credibility - at the centre of investigations, say police, and aims to "disrupt" them by whatever legal means possible.

    Over two days, the Guardian was given exclusive insight into the workings of Bluestone, as well access to new data, the academics behind it, the people supporting victims, and the national police lead at its vanguard.

    The project - part of a wider police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) operation called Operation Soteria, after the goddess of safety and deliverance from harm - aims to tackle a crisis in rape prosecutions, which fell by 64% between 2016 and 2020 against a backdrop of record reports in England and Wales.

Operation Bluestone, a new approach to investigating rape and serious sexual offences, aims to increase the rate conviction rate and improve outsources for victims.

    ‘Everyone wants to get involved’: inside a new police approach to tackling rape
    Operation Bluestone. Its "Al Capone" approach to catching rapists puts suspects - not victims' credibility - at the centre of investigations, say police, and aims to "disrupt" them by whatever legal means possible.

    Over two days, the Guardian was given exclusive insight into the workings of Bluestone, as well access to new data, the academics behind it, the people supporting victims, and the national police lead at its vanguard.

    The project - part of a wider police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) operation called Operation Soteria, after the goddess of safety and deliverance from harm - aims to tackle a crisis in rape prosecutions, which fell by 64% between 2016 and 2020 against a backdrop of record reports in England and Wales.

    DS Ashley Lockton of Avon and Somerset Police briefs her officers before they question a suspect at Bridgwater Police Station. They are part of Operation Bluestone, a new approach to investigating rape and serious sexual offences.
