Spiked on why the crackdown on wolf-whistling is ‘precrime’ in action

LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, August 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Spiked has published a powerful new article titled “The Crackdown on Wolf-Whistling Is Precrime in Action”, challenging the UK government’s proposed legislation to criminalize wolf-whistling and similar public behaviour.

The article argues that the law, which targets actions causing “intentional harassment, alarm or distress,” risks punishing people based on assumed intent rather than actual harm. Spiked warns this marks a dangerous shift toward preemptive policing and undermines the principle of personal liberty.

With sharp analysis and a firm defence of free expression, the piece calls into question the broader cultural and legal consequences of criminalizing ambiguous social interactions.
