Description

New figures relating to 'abuse of powers for sexual gain', suggest some police officers target vulnerable victims of crime in order to sexually exploit them.

In some cases the victims were women who had turned to the police for help with domestic abuse, or even rape. Are police forces doing enough to spot and stop repeated sexual misconduct by rogue officers?

And - the driving instructors offering lessons without being properly authorised. One customer paid out hundreds of pounds to an unqualified instructor. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency reveal new figures about the extent of the problem.
