Victoria Police are set to introduce a new initiative to crack down on sexual harassment on public transport.
Police have introduced a new service which will allow people to call in an report sexual harassment and other antisocial behaviours on public transport.
The new service which police have called ‘STOPIT’ will allow both victims and witnesses of sexual harassment on public transport to report the behaviour to police via text message.
After texting through their report, the person will then receive a link which prompts users through to a page where they can provide information about the attack along with photographs wherever possible.
