A SUPER-COMPLAINT has been launched against the police over claims officers are failing to protect victims from stalking. 

The National Stalking Consortium also says that officers are failing to identify offenders and properly investigate crimes, with just 5 per cent of cases in England and Wales ending in a conviction. 

The problems are systemic, according to the organisation, which is due to submit the super-complaint – a system allowing organisations to raise issues on behalf of the public about harmful trends in policing – in the next few days.
