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?

I'm very sorry to hear that. A lot of departments are simply behind the curve and/or don't have the resources to train their investigators properly. I would start by speaking with a victims advocate and, if you feel up to it, reading through your case file and seeing where things for mishandled. Sometimes simple, direct outreach to a department that's behind the times will go a long ways.

If I were fucking things up and making life harder on victims and easier on criminals, I would want to know and I'd want to fix it. There are probably areas where I am. I would appreciate someone letting me know. (But also be mentally prepared for a lot of brick walls)

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I will be contacting a victims advocate and reading through my file. Thanks again.
