Domestic abuse: Support in Sutton during the 2024 European Championships

Research from the National Centre for Domestic Violence during the football World Cup in 2022 reveals that domestic abuse incidents increase by 26% when our national team plays, 38% if they lose, and 11% the day after, regardless of the outcome.

The heightened emotions and alcohol consumption often associated with these games can exacerbate tensions at home, leading to an increase in abusive behaviour.

There is no justification for domestic abuse. While watching football does not cause abuse, it can act as a trigger in relationships where abuse is already present.

Detailed information on available services in Sutton and how to access them can be found on the Cranstoun website.

Sutton is also a White Ribbon accredited organisation, and there are a number of male staff members in Sutton who are White Ribbon Ambassadors. We can all sign up and take the promise to "never commit, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women".

Live facial recognition is a "vital tool" for policing.

LFR works by mapping a person's unique facial features, which can be matched against faces on watch-lists.  

Ch Supt Andy Brittain, who is a Met borough commander for Sutton, Croydon and Bromley, said they had arrested a further "four or five" when the vans were sent out on Friday.

"This technology is a really precise and really efficient way for us to catch these people, because otherwise it's about us knocking on doors, it's about us doing searches talking to people," he said.
