Presentation Title: 'Ugly
Mugs': Increasing the Safety of Sex Trade Workers, Tackling Dangerous
Individuals
Abstract
This presentation explores the successes of a pioneering
intelligence-based scheme set up on Merseyside to reduce attacks on sex
trade workers.
The Linx Project's Ugly Mugs scheme collects and analyses intelligence on incidents and particularly dangerous individuals. Reports are collected from workers and key information shared with police and other agencies in order to target offenders.
The presentation will highlight specific Linx project innovations such as the Ugly Mugs Summary Sheets and award-winning Ring Master system and will show how they are used to prevent further attacks on vulnerable workers.
