Story here. Excerpt:

'About 240 women a day are arrested for violent crime in England and Wales, according to recent figures.

Police in Scotland and Northern Ireland say, anecdotally, they have also seen an increase in female violence.

The chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, Paul McKeever, said there was a "new phenomenon" of women using violence and joining gangs.'
