How student police officers are trained to collect the words

Crime is on the rise in France in 2022, reveals the report published by the Ministry of the Interior on January 31. Among the most significant increases: domestic violence (+17%) and sexual violence (+11%).

This increase is explained, according to the ministry, by the liberation of speech in the wake of the #MeToo movement, but also by a better reception of victims by the police. Police forces who, as part of their initial training, follow a compulsory module on intra-family violence.

In Lyon, 30 student police officers were visited by three members of the National Union of Families of Femicide.
