UK police want database of people who are "suspicious", yet unconvicted
A computer system allowing police to share details of dangerous offenders has been unveiled by the Home Office.
The £10m Violent and Sex Offenders Register (Visor) is intended to help reduce re-offending and contains information on 47,000 people.
It controversially includes details on people who have not been convicted, but are still considered a public danger.
Minister Fiona Mactaggart said Visor could help reduce crime and was "a step change in public protection".
