TVL evasion is a criminal offence, it is enforceable, and is enforced against around 1,000 people every week.

How can they be "targeted"? Do homes have a sign saying "I don't pay for a TV licence and no women live here?

Only those that speak to the guys at the door . I do not watch live TV or use Iplayer but I will not speak to them. Most court cases are heard without the defendant and often you get no chance to defend yourself. The letters they send and everything is aimed to scare and intimidate you and only in the small print does it offer a guide as to why you would not need one

Women aren't specifically targeted as such as each morning TVL Inspectors are given a list of properties to visit, regardless of who lives there.

However, because women are most likely to be at home (child care, most lone parents are women etc) when they call, it is the case that women are more likely to be caught and prosecuted.

In how many cases is there a man also present? Only the person responsible for getting a TV Licence is prosecuted. If it's the woman's household, then they are responsible for that.

In your experience, do couples tend to have the mortgage or tenancy agreement in just the man’s name, just the woman’s name, or jointly?
