Gender equality campaigner Patsy Stevenson, who was arrested at the Sarah Everard vigil, has said she has not seen any improvement in the police force in five years, despite a major overhaul.

Stevenson also warned that for trust in the police to be restored, officers must actually "understand" the issues and "lower their defences" – rather than just acknowledge there are problems.
