“Many recent news stories have found a lack of effective response to sexual assault at police departments and prosecutors’ offices around the country. These news stories are not about pointing fingers at the police or prosecutors - we must be willing to have courageous conversations about lessons learned and how police departments, prosecutors, and communities, can respond more effectively to these very complex crimes.”
