The Metropolitan Police is investigating 1,000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving about 800 of its officers. Its Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley made the announcement after PC David Carrick pleaded guilty to 49 offences, including dozens of rapes. Today's Mishal Husain spoke to Sir Mark who apologised to Carrick's victims for the force's failings. She also spoke to former Superintendent Del Babu and the former Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales Dame Vera Baird. Justin Webb also discussed the case with criminologist Professor Betsy Stanko.
