The UK’s biggest police force on Wednesday unveiled a plan to deploy undercover officers outside bars and clubs in a bid to reduce violence against women and girls.

The measure is part of the Metropolitan Police’s plans designed to ensure women’s safety after Sarah Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive, was raped and murdered by a serving officer of the force, who fake-arrested her while she was walking alone.
