The past few years have been terrifying for women. Violent crimes and sexual assaults have been skyrocketing, while arrests and clearance rates by police have gone down. Victims brave enough to come forward are waiting years for justice, while those charged with victimizing them are released back into our communities.
The appalling clearance rates for assaults against women are a direct result of the absence of a comprehensive, protective program.
This discretion is provided without much data being collected or shared. The courts hide behind an archaic law that exempts their records from the Freedom of Information Act.
