The North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner has admitted he has "much to learn" about male violence against women and girls but did not mention resigning.
More than 5,000 people have signed a petition calling on Philip Allot to resign following comments he made on BBC Radio York on Friday about the murder of Sarah Everard.
In the interview, Mr Allott said women “need to be street wise” and that Ms Everard “never should have submitted” to arrest.
Labour leader Keir Starmer, Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, London mayor Sadiq Khan and TV personality Piers Morgan have been among those condemning his comments and calling for his resignation.
