Police crackdown on predatory behaviour
BBCPolice are stepping up efforts to keep nights out safe and are asking people to share their experiences.
As part of Operation Funnel, officers have been targeting male predatory behaviour in Torquay, Paignton and Brixham's evening and at night.
Ten community protection warnings had been issued and two sexual risk orders had been obtained in recent months, said officers.
Police have also carried out high-visibility patrols and undercover operations to tackle the problem and are asking people to fill in a survey to help them guide their future work and identify areas where people have felt unsafe.
Community protection warnings are formal notices given to individuals or businesses involved in persistent anti-social behaviour.
Sexual risk orders are civil court orders that restrict individuals who pose a sexual risk, even without a conviction.
