View submission: Detective completely overhauled the way his department handled rape cases, greatly improving the clearance rate | Why aren't his tactics more widely adopted?

None of what you posted addresses what the guy above said. Are you ok with sending someone to jail solely based on the words of the victim?

I say no absent physical evidence but am fully aware that would result in more rapists going unpunished, I apply this standard to all crimes. I'd rather 10 guilty guys be running around than 1 innocent be in prison.

That's what the jury's for. They can hear the evidence and they can decide.

It's never solely the word of the victim. You can look at other evidence.
