Nothing to do with the police, they arrested an offender. They did not decide what gender the offender was.

And another one. How much longer are we going to hear abusive men described as 'she' in reports of crimes against women? This is a police report, not a piece of journalism hidebound by NUJ 'guidelines, too. At what point will the authorities realise that women have had enough? And just how can the police be expected to gain the trust of the public if they are seen to be unable to believe the evidence of their eyes?

The report doesn't say whether 'Zara Jade' will be sent to a male or female prison - does anyone know more?
