Please notify Backlash of any arrests that come to your attention.
Monitoring relies on local media because official arrest data is “abysmal”, as the Bichard inquiry (set up after the Soham murders) pointed out.
As experience builds up Backlash is well placed to ensure anybody unwittingly caught up in this legislation will be able to receive competent specialist legal advice.
If you would like to contribute to monitoring use of this legislation, or if you are a journalist or a researcher and would like to cover all sides of the debate, please contact us
