HMIC's review into allegations and intelligence material concerning Jimmy Savile between 1964 and 2012 Summary: HMIC's review of allegations made against Jimmy Savile during his lifetime finds mistakes were made by the police; and while policies and practices designed to improve the experience of child victims are now available, we raise serious concerns over why so many victims felt unable to come forward and report what had happened to the authorities.

Author: Knopwood, David Title: Operation Newgreen - West Yorkshire Police Summary: On 5th October 2012 Operation Yewtree was established by the Metropolitan Police Service to investigate allegations of sexual abuse committed by the late Sir James Savile. Since that date, West Yorkshire Police (WYP) has worked with Operation Yewtree to investigate these allegations and support the victims of Savile’s abuse. On 7th November 2012 the Home Secretary commissioned Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to conduct a review to assess the police knowledge of and response to the historical allegations made against Savile and related individuals between 1964 and 2012. West Yorkshire Police fully cooperated with that review, which resulted in the publication of the HMIC report “Mistakes were made”. In line with that report and comments from the Crown Prosecution Service, WYP has considered how best to consider the status of the allegations of those who have reported them. On the basis of recent assessments, there appears to be a general acceptance that Savile was a prolific sex offender and a paedophile, but he was never convicted of any offence during his lifetime. Although mindful of that fact, we have nevertheless taken the decision to refer to his “crimes” and “offending” rather than his “alleged allegations made against Savile have not been and never will be tested in a criminal law court. However, the substantial number of victims who have come forward, apparently unknown to one another for the most part, is an indication of a pattern of criminal behaviour by Savile that overwhelmingly suggests, if alive, he would have many cases to answer. There are currently 76 crimes involving 68 victims committed in the West Yorkshire area relating to Savile. None of these cases were previously reported to WYP prior to Savile's death. It is a stark and shocking fact that there are over 214 crimes nationally relating to Savile with only five coming to light during Savile's lifetime. There is no doubt that police forces made mistakes in relation to sharing and keeping information relating to Savile so no single clear picture of his offending could be made. As Savile’s home police force, WYP would have been the obvious place to collect all such information, but investigation has shown that much of the available information during Savile’s lifetime was never shared with WYP and when it was WYP, did not connect the events to recognise a potential pattern of offending. We must do everything we can to understand why that was, to ensure it does not happen again. Whilst victim care remains the focus, the investigation and review by West Yorkshire Police has also examined in detail the relationship WYP had with Savile. To conduct this investigation, Operation Newgreen was established comprising of a dedicated investigation team, to review all past contact between WYP and Savile. Each matter identified through this process has been investigated in detail to provide a thorough understanding of each. Details: Wakefield, UK: West Yorkshire Police, 2013. 59p.
