I'm downvoting because you're dredging up the same old tiresome over-reporting / overzealous prosecution claims with no evidence (when there is in fact extensive evidence these sorts of crimes are under-reported.) Also because you ignored "grievous bodily harm, sexual assault, stalking, rape" to cherry pick harassment. Also because you claim without evidence that harassment, and a very weak form of harassment, are a significant percentage of cases. Then you leveraged the fact that most people probably do not understand the legal definitions (and statutory thresholds.) Then you invented a definition of harassment to suit your argument and the notion that women are trying to report, and police are taking reports of, "someone staring at them on the train." The legal definition of harassment is what matters: https://www.local.gov.uk/definition-harassment-abuse-and-intimidation https://www.local.gov.uk/definition-harassment-abuse-and-int... Another commenter included the statutory thresholds.
