Marlihan Lopez: Police and Cases

marlihan lopez: Marlihan Lopez said it would go a long way to healing a growing rift between police and survivors of sexual assault, according to CTV. Last week the Suret du Quebec released information about its handling of some 800 cases of sexual assault cases between 2014 and 2016. The audit of such police cases is currently being done in some cities in the U.S. and the Quebec Coalition of Sexual Assault Centres says Quebec police forces should do the same here. The SQ says the number of cases considered unfounded was 12 percent, and not the 21 percent as reported by the Globe and Mail in February. But Lopez said a lack of outside analysis is a huge missed opportunity, saying if police say cases are unfounded, that means police do not belive a crime was committed. The SQ said it was satisfied these cases were handled correctly and saw no need to analyze them further or change its methods. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
