The Metropolitan Police said it has deployed counter-terrorism tactics to catch the worst predators targeting women in London.

The force said it has started using the Cambridge Crime Harm Index to assess 35,000 offenders reported to the force each year for crimes against women and girls, to rank the 100 who pose the highest risk to the public.
