So what we're announcing today is a new crime of
spiking. Currently spiking sits across various different pieces of
legislation and isn't necessarily that easy to spot and also
charge in the criminal law. So we're going to
introduce a new crime of stalking spiking and what we
will do at the same time as doing that because
just making a new crime won't necessarily change that much
. We're going to change the way that police gather
data and report on that data to make sure we
know where the problem of spiking is happening. What
sort of spiking is prolific and how we can target
measures to try and prevent it in the future as
well as rolling out training for 10,000 bar staff across
the country and pubs, just like Norton's in digs
where we are today to make sure that bar staff
are trained in how to spot perpetrating behavior, support
victims if they've been spiked. But also look at
evidence gather so that we can hopefully use that new
crime to actually get some justice for some of the 00:01:02.914 --> victims
