	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2016 answer text <p>Stalking is a deeply disturbing crime which can leave its victims living in fear for years. That is why we introduced new legislation in 2012 which made stalking an offence in its own right.</p><p>To mark National Stalking Awareness Week, we are using Twitter to raise awareness of the increases in prosecutions and convictions for these crimes to help improve victim confidence in the criminal justice system.</p><p>The Government has committed £80 million to support victims of violence against women and girls, including, stalking, between 2016 and 2020. This includes funding for the National Stalking Helpline run by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust. Additionally, we have consulted on the introduction of a new civil Stalking Protection Order to tackle perpetrators at an early stage to help prevent victims becoming targets of a prolonged campaign of abuse. Our response to this consultation will be published in due course. Through the Police Innovation Fund, we are supporting the police to identify ways to manage the significant volume of online material in abuse, harassment and stalking cases, so that evidence can be collected more easily and a strong case built to bring a prosecution.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 26/04/2016 11:41:55 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2016 answer text <p>Cyber Streetwise is a cross Government campaign, developed by private and public stakeholder partners and coordinated by the Home Office. It is designed to measurably make the UK a safer place to interact and do business online by increasing individual and SME adoption of safe online behaviours.</p><p>Government experts estimate that a significant proportion of cyber security issues would be avoided by safer online behaviours. Cyber Streetwise supports this by increasing digital confidence by informing people about the key things that keep them safer online. It does this by:</p><p>• Delivering actionable and positive solution focussed advice on how to be secure</p><p>• Creating arresting communications that highlight the consequences and cut through low interest</p><p>• Reminding and reinforcing individuals and SMEs of the core protective behaviours at the point of risk/incidence</p><p>The impact of Cyber Streetwise on behaviours is evaluated via regular quantitative tracking research. Since its launch in January 2014, it is estimated that 2 million adults have adopted safer online behaviours that will better protect them.</p><p>This is estimated using data from the National Cyber Security Tracker. This is a regular non-random online panel survey of 2000 people, designed to measure the adoption (claimed behaviour) of safer cyber security behaviours amongst SMEs and the public.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 25/04/2016 13:59:10 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
